I learned a long time that if you don’t fit into what people expect you to be, they don’t usually like you...
and that’s fine by me.
I’m not looking for approval or acceptance of the person that I am-
I love the person that I’ve worked hard to become..every scar, scratch and flaw I have is original and earned- they all tell my story.
That’s the thing:
I’m not asking anyone to understand me, because there’s days that I don’t even understand myself.
So, when they say I’ve changed or there’s something different about me..that’s not true at all.
I just decided to stop hiding all the things I knew everyone wouldn’t like, understand or approve of.
It took me a lot of soul searching and mustering up of my courage, but I couldn’t keep living under a pretense of what I wasn’t anymore.
I’m going to shine with all of my true colors and people will still decide what to make of me, but I don’t care what anyone thinks of me, now or ever.
It’s better to die an original than live as a fake.
So, world, here I am in all my glory, weirdness and passionate wildness. Don’t underestimate my fierce strength and don’t expect me to play nice if you don’t do the same.
I give what I get and I always give everything and everyone my all.
I don’t love small and I don’t do anything halfway..but you’ll always know where you stand with me.
Maybe I won’t have a lot of friends, but I’m okay with that..the people that get me will always be close to my heart and that’s what matters most.
Loving and living with authenticity rather than pretending with fake adoration.
So, as everyone says I’ve changed, I’m different or they don’t understand what happened to me..
They never really understood me to begin with, by my choice.
This is my time to shine and I’m reaching for the stars..
Rise or fall, succeed or fail, at least I’ll always do it my way.
