it makes things so much easier? to just be myself??? I LOVE BEING A REAL PERSON! i am so much more okay with people not liking me for my innate being than not liking the fake persona i have created. a fake personality is somewhat like a piece of art. it hurts when someone criticizes your child. your creation. you can hurt me tho! it’s alright something to unpack in the future perhaps.. perfectly imperfect :)

Mintpp the push towards a herd mentality remains so strong that i wonder if this is the reason that we are all being navigated so heavily through different trends each month/week/day in order to feel more uneasy with our individual personalities existing as is, without judgement

i feel like so many people are so insecure or afraid of what others think of them that they’re afraid to be genuine. it’s easier to be nonchalant because then no one can really judge who you ARE. but like. what’s the point of cultivating relationships if they’re only wanting to spend time with your self crafted persona. if we’re true to ourselves the right people will be attracted to that light :)

been thinking a lot about self-awareness lately and what makes me “me.” I’m always trying to figure out how to transform my inner critic to real personal growth without shame. being honest and not editing myself to any given room was one of the first things I began to tackle in therapy. existing among other humans is an ongoing give and take, and Being Who You Are without apology while treating others with respect is really all you need to do in this life. learning how to be kind and true, and finding the good amongst so much bad and then sharing it with others makes the world go ‘round

do it for the bit! worst case scenario? they don‘t like you (thats ok!). maybe you didnt gain anything but you certainly havent lost anything either... actually id still argue that you *have* gained something by allowing yourself the self compassion to be imperfect (heh heh). best case scenario? you‘re with good company and as time goes on with said good company, you realize what you perceive to be flaws are really not flaws at all, but a part of the wonderful weave of traits and quirks that makes up you (and everyone else too!) just maybe with a little less confidence. rest assured, the confidence can be worked on. but attracting the life you want with people who inspire you and fill your heart with the warmth of 1000 suns starts with you being your most beautiful & authentic self! warts and all! weirdos n freaks rise up!

listen, middle school sucks. i agree. BUT! hear me out!! teaching middle schoolers is a genuinely entertaining career. i think they get such a bad rap because no one really has fond memories of being 13, which makes sense!! going from child to teen and not even really being a teen yet is difficult and confusing. not fun! but they still have the most random childlike shenanigans that i love to be apart of. they are little humans who shock me with an f bomb every now and then but also make me origami and paper crowns, and it gives me a reason to wake up in the morning.
