It's all about acceptance

Acceptance of myself.

Why is it so difficult?

Lately, I wrote an e-mail to a co-worker & friend. I told her,

"I feel so dumb.
I feel so naive.
I want to be different than I am today.
Un-afraid.
Un-restrained.
Regard-less.
And then again, not."

And she told me:

"It's all about getting to know yourself.
Accept yourself.
By the way, you can only change what you have already accepted."

Now this is a challenge.
