change

"I've got a war in my mind", like Lana said. I feel like I need to change, like I need to be someone else — the woman I am is not good enough. But what I know from now on is that I'm tough — tough like a soldier inside my mind, the war that keeps me fighting from time to time. My mind who loves me, but also hates me, my brain tells me to behave, to be the perfect woman — the perfect woman who is also brave. I fight to be her, but I'm tired of the battlefield. Maybe I'm perfect the way I am — the way I am, the realness that defines me, is already enough — the real me, who is strong and tough.
