So my latest epiphany is being comfortable with who you are. I feel like my life would have been so much better... or at least a lot less awkward if I would have gotten this sooner. I feel like I've spent my whole life trying to be like or act like someone else, because being me just wasn't good enough.
Here's the thing about trying to be someone else.
1) It will never be you. You may have similarities to other people but no one is just like you.
2) The people that have made it "big" are not the ones that tried to be someone else, but rather celebrated who they were.
3)What works for someone else won't always work for you. You have different hair, body, face, personalty, likes, dislikes, background that make you, you. Work with what you have, because it's unique to you!
4) The best that you can achieve when trying to be someone else is just being a really good copy. And copies are never worth more than an original.
I remember wanting to look like certian people when I was growing up. I would think "Wow! They are so cool. I want to be just like them." And I would try to. But one day I had the glorious thought, "I don't look like them!" I couldn't do my hair like them. My hair is fine and straight, I can't even burn it into place! haha I couldn't be what they were. I'm an artist. I want to draw and paint! I'd be miserable doing anything else. What works for them doesn't work for me! I was born FLO! I can spend the rest of my life trying to be someone else (WHICH WILL NEVER HAPPEN) or I can make the most of me and work with what I have to work with.
I am a nerd.
I have beautiful straight blonde hair.
I love music.I look good in hats.
I'm NOT a girly girl.
I love sneakers, t-shirts, and jeans.
I love art.
I love being ridiculous and silly.
I love dancing.
I love comic books!
I love sports.
The list could go on and on. This is me, and I enjoy being me. Make a list of who you are and start celebrating EVERYTHING that makes you, you.
