The stuff I used to beat myself up about as a kid… is now the stuff I'm most proud of.
It's kinda strange how the stuff I used to beat myself up about as a kid… the stuff I used to pull myself down for… is now the stuff I celebrate most about myself…
I remember being that kid who never felt like she fit in… the awkward one… the shy one… the weird one… the one who didn't wanna be part of the crowd because something about it always felt icky and clicky… but then also felt that quiet lonely feeling of being on the outside going… what is wrong with me… why can't I just be like everyone else… meh…
Trying to force myself into spaces that never felt right… watching everyone else seem to have these huge groups of friends and wondering why that just… wasn't me… obvs wasn't me… never gonna be me… and back then that felt like a problem…and it was lonely af at times
And it took me almost fifty freaking years to realise…
Those are ALL the parts of me I now celebrate most.
I'm not gonna be like anyone else. Because I'm not. Totes not. And I'm done pretending otherwise. Fck that…
I celebrate my weirdness. I celebrate my quirks. I'm not gonna play a game just to fit in… I'm quiet… but I'm deep and I'm curious and I think about things most people skim straight past… and I love that about myself now even though back then it felt like something to fix…
I love pickles. I love dogs. I love doing random weird stuff. I'm kinda obsessed with unique people… people who go against the grain… people who aren't scared to show their actual identity even when it doesn't fit the mould…those are my people…
I never wanted to wear pink as a kid when everyone else was drowning in it… and honestly… not much has changed… 😂
And now I stand out. Because of me. Not despite me.
So if you're reading this and you recognise that feeling… that kid who never quite fit… who felt too much or not enough or just… different…
I'm gonna tell you what I'm telling that little version of myself right now…
She was doing good. She stayed true to herself when everything around her was telling her not to. And I love her for that. ❤️
And if you're that kid too… the one who never quite fit… who felt too weird or too quiet or just too much of something that nobody else seemed to be…
She was doing good. She stayed true to herself when everything around her was telling her not to.
And so did you.
