This is post is so reflectional and I can say that I resonate with it. I can't say how much I have been moved by what many people would think about me that I lost sense of who I was and what I was supposed to be. And that itself is way more harder than assuming your identity.

I was telling someone that I became so reliant on people that it showed in every aspect of my life. I cared what people thought. Not like I stopped caring but I am now more in control of what I let get to me.

Thank you for this really profound post.
