I was always afraid of being myself. I thought people would hate the real me. They’d think I was too much. Too loud Too opinionated Too vulgar Too bold Too direct Too intense I don’t like it when people don’t like me or don’t agree with me. It makes me crazy! So I try to please everyone, even though I know it’s an impossible task. I’ve realized that in trying to please everyone, I end up turning into one of them.. The dreaded – NORMALS. *shudder* When you try to please everyone, you end up conforming to BE like everyone else. Like all the NORMAL people. Instead of just being YOU! And you, my friend, are NOT normal! You are loud You are opinionated You are vulgar You are bold You are direct You are intense You are a badass boss and people need to either accept you for who you are or disappear! Because what you need, what you deserve, what you require in order to be the very best that you can be and to achieve what you want to achieve – Is acceptance. From yourself. Accept that you are the way you are. Fully EMBRACE the way you are. LOVE the way you are! You are not normal, you weren’t made normal, you weren’t born to BE normal. Stop trying to be! Stop trying to fit in. Stop trying to be everything to everyone. One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned in life is that the more I show up unapologetically as ME – Say what I want – Do what I want – Be who I want...
