Part I:
I am here to tell you a story about when and how I decided to become unapologetic. As a
child, I was very shy. Always keeping thoughts to myself and trying to stay out of the way,
staying unnoticed. As I got older, around the beginning of high school, I got very much into
music and theatre. These were my outlets. I could express my feelings through song and stay my
shy self the rest of the time. It was not until I became involved with someone a few years later
that I hit my breaking point.
I knew, deep in my mind, that being in that relationship would only hurt me more and
more the longer it continued. Every opportunity for my boyfriend to muffle my feelings, he did.
It got to the point where I would cry and cry over the feeling of being trapped. I would sit in bed,
warm tears rolling down my cheeks, swollen eyes from the salt, feeling my heartbeat in my head
from the pressure, body shaking and red, feeling so apologetic over something that was not even
my fault. Over the years I realized I had to do something about it. I could not go on living my life
this way, exhausted of always feeling like the reason anything went wrong. After years of giving
others advice to stand up for themselves, I was going to take my own advice.
This was the moment I decided to become unapologetic. I was no longer going to
apologize for how I felt or for the way that I was myself. After ending the unhealthy, toxic
relationship, I turned a new leaf. With every single conversation I had, I had a goal to stay true to
myself and not let anyone stifle my feeling of self-worth. I was no longer afraid of offending
others by speaking my mind as long as that is what I felt was true to myself. For years of my life,
I was apologizing for the way I felt so that I could make others feel like their feelings were more
valid than my own. I am telling you, the reader, never let others stifle your feelings. Your
feelings are just as valid as anyone else’s and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Speak your
