I keep loving loudly. I keep trying, giving myself and my heart and everything else I have to give.

And I’m not sorry for it. I’m not sorry for being this way, for not holding back. I’m not sorry for wanting to take a chance that could leave me bruised and embarrassed than to not say I tried at all. I’m not sorry for having a loud want and an eager heart.

I’m not sorry for being me.
