Ok so you probably are thinking this is a fun post but I’m actually about to be totally serious. Opening up lately has been hard and I kinda save it for my therapist (yes I have a therapist and yes I love therapy I highly recommend everyone goes) but after thinking about my life especially the past few years, I was being told by those who “loved” me and who were supposed to “care” about me, to stop being my true authentic self. I never understood why people would tell me to calm down or to be quiet because THATS WHO I HAVE BEEN MY WHOLE LIFE. And news flash I’m not changing. It’s really unfortunate when you are surrounded by people who don’t understand you and the only thing they can control is putting YOU down because they are uncomfortable. Which shows THEIR true insecurities. If you like me for who I am then THANK YOU. Because that’s not changing. And if you are the kind of person who can’t “handle” me because I can be too much, then too bad. I could simmer down but I like myself better when I’m all feisty and shit. And FYI, a lot of people like that about me too. So be proud of who you are and don’t let anyone try to change you and bring you down. I have been surrounded by those people my whole life and even though it SUCKS when people try to stop you from being who you are instead of celebrating the real YOU, one thing I learned is to ignore the haters. I am who I am and I fought like hell to be her.
