I'm Joanna Marie Watkins. 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 outside of me.

I own me, and therefore, I can engineer me. I am me,

and I am Okay.
