It's scary, but I'm going to face myself

I feel like I've been keeping a lid on my true feelings for a long time.
I feel like I've been keeping a lid on my true feelings for a long time.

While living to meet the expectations of others, I lost track of what I was feeling and what I truly wanted.

Even when I was exhausted, I would say I was fine, and even when something unpleasant happened, I would smile and say it was okay.

To be honest, facing myself is scary.
There are things I probably don't want to see, and things I probably don't want to remember.

But, even if it's just a little bit at a time, I decided I want to properly acknowledge the version of myself that has worked so hard to get this far.
If I do that, maybe I can move forward, even just a little...

Since I haven't faced myself until now, I don't think I can do it right away, but I hope I can learn to do it little by little.
