But who are you ?

It would be hypocritical from me to say i don’t follow trends, quite the opposite some of them can really be interesting and i “follow” them but i have no desire to fit in. Everyday i embrace my soul, my heart and my mind because it took me years to be the Me of today and as an individual it’s totally normal to be unique in my own way. I am unapologetically myself, no matter how much “trouble” it gets me with people i don’t care. To be put in a box just to fit in or follow the “rules” was never something that i tolerated nor could handle. I value self reliance and resent depending on someone I am selective when it comes to socialising because i prefer being alone than having small talk I question everything to be convinced before i accept it or do it I am assertive, i express my needs, opinions and boundaries even if it means leading to a conflict with someone I dont care about social pressure, i believe anyone can achieve anything at any age I don’t care about approval I am always open to learn new stuff and never afraid to be seen as “uneducated“ during the process I don’t wanna copy. I am me, if i wanna read a kid’a book i will, if i wanna paint a tomato i will, if i wanna learn Russian i will, if i wanna wear a blazer with sweatpants because I think it looks good ON ME i WILL, me is ME and you is YOU. Etc…

being yourself & individualism

i think now more than ever, we live in a society where it is normalized to judge others for not following the “trends” or “socially acceptable” things, which has become a big problem for the coming generations. i think people should be their unique, authentic, selves and shouldn’t be afraid of such, because who actually cares ? i mean, yeah, people will probably judge you for it and say rude things, but people will do that anyways, so why not have them say it about something YOU know you love. as long as you know that you like it, then it shouldn’t matter what that one girl thinks about it, because at the end of the day, it’s just someone’s opinion, not an actual truth. if you wanna dress all funky and different, do it !! and do so with confidence .

like what you like

People are so different and diverse. And what is cultured and tapped in to one group is going to be irrelevant to another. You'll be the most happy and free if you are able to resist all of those pressures toward grouplike and alignment. The pressures will be lifelong, though often with a different flavor than right now. Although the safe thing is to get into that rudderless ship of alikeness with everyone else, the better thing is to love what you love, no apologies, with joy and passion. After a time, they'll come to you.

you are more interesting than you think

It’s incredible how many people genuinely think they are boring. There have been so many times I’ve spoken with people and they confess that they think that they haven’t done much with their life, or that they don’t have much interesting to talk about, but it’s almost never the case. From what I can tell, it’s often caused by a lack of knowing thyself. Or maybe a low self esteem? I’ve been through it too, and it is so so not true for anyone. You’ve done so much living. Why do you feel like your story is not worth telling? I know you’ve gone through some crazy shit once or twice. if you really haven’t, what’s stopping you from getting out there and creating stories to talk about? Start small! go to a coffee shop once a week. See if they have any clubs to join, and try that out! you’ll be making memories in NO TIME. If you have trouble finding meaningful/fun conversation, just remember that the effort must flow both ways. You are merely just working with what the other person is providing you, and if they aren’t giving you anything to work with, it’s not your fault. You aren’t boring, you are just around people who dont vibe with you. And that’s okay! Not every person is going to be your specific kind of person. Plus, if you aren’t having fun talking to them, why does it matter if they like you? the much cooler people who value your input are just around the corner. I promise. One day you’ll be able to shine your beautiful personality on someone who is equally as bright you are, you magnificent comet, you.

Accepting the world you were born in no longer exists

Nostalgia is so powerful. And so painful. I’ve made Pinterest boards filled with hundreds of memories and toys and things that shaped my childhood. I’ve made playlists that include only songs that make me feel 6 years old again. I’ve watched movies that bring me the same wonder they did as when I watched them as a child. But nothing will ever truly bring me back there. It’s gone forever. to know that I will never walk the halls of my elementary school building, or try and plant an apple seed in between the slides of the playground, or play tag with my best buddies ever again is something unbearable. life is so short. I miss it all of the time. Adulthood has its perks as well. I never have to ask to go sleep over at a friends house and get told no. I can eat what i want. I can get a kitten if I feel like it. But I miss the simplicity and happiness of being a child. I miss just existing and being okay with that. i miss how I felt when I was 6, but I have to accept that I must leave that behind. Maybe reincarnation is real. Maybe I will live through something like this life again? There is an ache knowing I will never walk the same tiny footsteps as I once did. But alas, I’ll be 19 years from where I’m at now and miss this age just as much as I do then. The ache will take a new shape. And i will continue living on.

Join a mutual aid group

Mutual aid is a way we can take care of our neighbors! I’d highly recommend looking into joining one in your area. My group that I joined last September has been focused on fighting the anti-homeless legislation and rhetoric that’s been pushed by local representatives in our area. We also have done a couple free community meals, coat drives/distribution, and fundraisers/protests for Palestine 🇵🇸 I’ve made a few friends through this group and it’s been very fulfilling to know im actively doing things to help others in my community!
