I used to freak outs about not being like certain people. I used to think, "If I act like this, that person will like me because we will understand each other". It took me years to stop and start my journey to finding my true self.

As I got older, I started realizing that if a person can't understand me for who I am or my thought process/have zero interest in learning about me as my own individual- then they are just not for me and THAT IS OKAY. It is not a bad thing.

I've had to come back to this thought many times until I was finally feel comfortable within myself again. And I still fall back to it in certain scenarios- like me in my kitchen cooking Mac and cheese while thinking about what I'm going to do with the majors I'm going to college for. I've had many people telling me, you can't make a living out of that. You're going to need more school than that in order to be successful and all of this other "assistance" that I DID NOT ASK FOR.

And yes, sometimes I do end up thinking, "I haven't seen many people doing this. Or "Is this stupid?" And then I stop and remind myself that you will never know if you don't at least go for what you're super passionate about. You just might fulfill all that you have been adding on to your list if you just keeping going...

I've realized that you can't live for other people. You never asked to be given life. But now that you have it, it's yours. You choose what you want to do. Make your own choices. Find things YOURE passionate about. Screw what people are trying to feed you. Most of the time they're trying to hinder you because they wish that they could break free from the mold they've been entrapped in. Be free.
