I had a friend tell me to "face it" last night.
I can't exactly say what we were talking about.
It wasn't about love, or failure, it was about myself.
Just face it.
You are who you are.
You are comfortable with what you're comfortable with.
There is room for change, but only to moderate what you already are. There is room for self-control, consideration of others, and personal wellness, but the bare, naked truth is still unchanged. One needs to shed his/herself of the protective shield one wears. Figure out something once, and then move onto the next lesson.
You need to indulge in every life experience possible to learn more about yourself. As you learn, you will find yourself, and when you find yourself, you can be yourself.
As Keats once said, "Beauty is truth, truth beauty."
It's time to face it.
