These were the words that rang in my ear at 3 am. They repeated over and over again as I woke up for the umpteenth time to use the restroom. For some reason, I knew exactly what it meant. I was subconsciously letting myself know that it was time to “speak up” and “be brave.” Just a few months ago, these words would have had me frozen in my tracks. I would have even sabotaged myself before I started. But today, I feel as ready as ever. I am beginning to understand that the action I place behind these words will set me on a new journey. It will affect my love life, relationships, friendships, and community. The most significant impact will be on my relationship with myself, and I am loving that aspect for myself. I know it can be difficult to put yourself out there. It can also be challenging to take the time needed to love on yourself in every sense of the word.
