No, but seriously. There will be no apologies whatsoever for my breakout “verbal vomit” moment of truth. As you will clearly see with the birth of The Real Cat Williamson, my many “secrets” will make me sick no longer. I’m a beast! I’m a warrior! I’m a motivator! I’M A SURVIVOR! From this day forward, I’m GOING to be show up and live a life of use to others! And oh, by the way …

Dear Angelina,

THANK YOU for inspiring ME to “live a life of use to others”. I listen to your Jean Hershold Humanitarian Award acceptance speech often, and have made my daughter listen to it as well.

Nothing will have meant ANYTHING if I leave this planet without having done just that, so that’s what I’m gonna do. You truly are one of my hero’s, and not because of WHO you are … because of WHAT you are. You’re a “Warrior. Motivator. SURVIVOR!” like me. It is my truest hope that before my life is over, I’ll be able to thank you in person.

Holding your breath. Holding your tongue. You’re only holding yourself back. So much to say. So far to run out from the shadows you have cast. Girl the best days of your life have yet to come. It’s okay, it’s alright, to open up. You don’t owe anybody anything. Life is yours to live anyway you please. No apologies. No promise left for you to keep. You can be whoever you want to be. No apologies. Closing the door. Closing your eyes. You’re only closing yourself off. So much to see. So much to try. Don’t be afraid of what you want. Girl the best days of your life have yet to come. It’s okay, it’s alright, to open up. {Trapt}
