Living Myself in Fulfillment (:

I have to live with myself, and so I want to be fit for myself to know. I want to be able as days go by.
Always to look myself straight in the eye; I don’t want to stand, with the setting sun, and hate myself for things I have done. I don’t want to keep on a closet shelf a lot of secrets about myself,a nd fool myself, as I come and go into thinking that nobody else will know the kind of girl I really am. I don’t want to dress myself up in sham. I want to go out with my head erect. I want to deserve all man’s respect. And here in the struggle for fame and wealth, I want to be able to like myself. I don’t want to look at myself and know that I am a bluffer, an empty show. I can never hide myself from me. I see what others may never see. I know what others may never know. I never can fool myself, and so, whatever happens, I want to be self-respecting and guilt-free.
