We tend to be too hard on ourselves, we spend most of our days reminiscing about the 'good old days' or comparing ourselves to others just to feel more adequate. Some of us need validation from others in order to feel complete. It is important to note that our strengths lie in our differences. This post is dedicated to everyone who feels empty and lost, everyone who has drifted apart from their identity, and everyone who occasionally forgets to love themselves.
We live in a world were beauty standards are impossible to meet, a world were 'beauty' has a definition. Only a handful of people feel comfortable in their own skin, and only a few people embrace their uniqueness. Even though life has proven to be a repetition of choices and regrets, it is important to be bold in your approach.
It takes a lot of courage to stand out, we are judged for every single decision we make. It is easier to blend in with others and to follow the crowd. If you decide not to drink at a party, people look at you differently. Most of us are afraid to be ourselves because we have a fear of standing out, we are afraid of being judged. There is nothing wrong with being different, but there is everything wrong with being anyone else but yourself.
You need to learn how to love yourself before you can give your heart to others. Learning to love yourself brings you peace and comfort. We must be comfortable in our own silence, shine brighter when our shadows become darker in the blazing sun, and find comfort when we look into a mirror. Being different comes with its own challenges, there are no set rules to living your life. Remember that you only get one shot at life, make it count!
