I gotta say... these 30 Days of Truth really do make you do some intense self examination. This one's a bit more difficult for me... as I believe God's forgiveness is what counts. There have been several incidents in my life that I'm not proud of, but I've moved on from them. I guess you could say I've already forgiven myself on those. But there is one thing that still remains. Fear still rules my life. Afraid of my parents learning the truth... afraid for my job security... afraid of the future.
One of my all-time favorite movies is
Strictly Ballroom
. It's part of Baz Luhrman's
Red Curtain Trilogy
along with
Romeo + Juliet
and
Moulin Rouge
. There is a line in
Strictly Ballroom... 'A life lived in fear is a life half lived.' Well... I live my life in fear, and will continue to do so most likely. But I need to get past that fear eventually. I hope my future-self can forgive me for not getting past it sooner...

I love Strictly Ballroom. Good luck getting past your fears. It really sucks that you have to be afraid of what your parents think. It makes me so much more thankful that my parents are so open minded.
