I don't know how to be anyone but me. No amount of pressure from anyone could change that. Is that 'liberation'? Danged if I know, but I am happy and plan to be happy the rest of my life.

That isn't to say there haven't been - and won't be more - rough spots in my life. It simply means that I feel I have the strength to get through them and continue to live the only life that has been given to me.

It is called following that inner voice/conscience/the angel on your shoulder/?. That is who you have to live with. I know all about being lonely in a room full of people.
