It is me Shamkhal. In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me. Everything that comes out of me is authentically mine, because I alone chose it -- I own everything about me: my body, my feelings, my mouth, my voice, all my actions, whether they be to others or myself. I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears. I own my triumphs and successes, all my failures and mistakes. Because I own all of me, I can become intimately acquainted with me. By so doing, I can love me and be friendly with all my parts. I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and other aspects that I do not know -- but as long as I am friendly and loving to myself, I can courageously and hopefully look for solutions to the puzzles and ways to find out more about me. However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is authentically me. If later some parts of how I looked, sounded, thought, and felt turn out to be unfitting, I can discard that which is unfitting, keep the rest, and invent something new for that which I discarded. I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do. I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive, and to make sense and order out of the world of people and things around me. I own me, and therefore, I can engineer me. I am me, and I am Okay.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saved my best friend from drowning. The most amazing part is his size and weight compared to mine. I rested him on my chest and did the backstroke into shore. It was a pretty decent size man-made lake and we were in the middle when this happened. He had a bad cramp. Luckily, he didn't freak out too bad, otherwise he would have taken us both down. I completely collapsed on shore and threw up, my arms and legs burned and were totally exhausted.

Countries I’ve Lived In
