A lot has happened over this last year…
From moving to a different state, and multiple places of residences, to weight loss and setting myself up to be on the receiving end of a heartbreak a few times… It’s alright. I’m sure I’ll survive.
One of the things I’ve had to realize is, I didn’t know who I was. I couldn’t figure out why I was so dissatisfied and always in a constant depression.
Then it hit me.
I was living by other people’s standards of what “being happy” meant.
Going through the motions, because I thought that was what it took for people to like me.
So much over this past year has taught me who I am.
I’m not perfect. I’m going to mess up. I will disappoint. Things will not go according to plan.
You know what? I also learned this year, that all of that is ok.
The pressure of being you becomes conflicted and develops into a volatile emotion when you start to measure yourself up alongside those you think you want to be.
We all have our own stars to follow, and our own paths to walk. That’s why we are all so different. Can you imagine if we were all the same? Life would be boring.
Be the best “you” that you can be! Don’t let anyone else tell you what that means, because the beautiful part about being you is that you’re the only one that knows how to do that.
Remember, be who you truly are, and not who they told you to be.
Keep smiling. Things get better. I promise.
