Chapter 15: Be Who You Are
Show the world, who you really are. It is now the time to embrace your uniqueness and authenticity. If you are still comtemplating and is fearful of showing people your true self, let me boost you so that you can be more confident and bold to your approach in showing all of them what you are from within.
• Remember to not care about the opinions of others. As I will begin discussing this statement I would like to leave this quote here that change my point of view in regards to the opinion of other people about what I am like. “Your perception of me, is a reflection of you. ” People that talk about you poorly, were putting their insecurities on you. Some may talk shit behind your back, judging you. And baby, do not waste your time trying to prove something to them. Because whether you like it not, them backstabbing will still continue and you don’t need to prove yourself to them. Of course, they will talk about you behind your back because you are the pretty one, you are blessed by possessing a skill and a talent. You are the sexy one. That’s why they keep pushing you down, putting their insecurities on you hoping it will bring you down. Do not let them bring you down. Continue doing your thing as long as it makes you happy in life. These people, they are behind you for a reason. Always remember this, that at the end of the day whether you did your best to do good things people will always have something to say. Might as well live your life the way you want it to be.
• The world may try to change you. But stand firmly on your principles and your ground. You know yourself more than anyone else. You know what you want, what makes you happy, the things that you do that makes you fulfilled. And I am telling you, the society have their preference and opinions on how should you live your life. Don’t mind it. Be what you want. If you want to wear make up because it makes you feel more confident and beautiful, do it. You want to wear Gothic outfits, wear it. You are over accessorising, go for it. Show them what you really are. Flaunt your style, your beauty, your self. I will repeat this, DO NOT LET THEM STOP YOU! I am saying this because to stop you from suppressing yourself from doing everything you want to do with your life. The society always have the standards and expectations and I don’t want the youth to try living their life from the standard that is set for them to follow. I don’t want you to be regretful someday because you let them control you from doing things that you now are the best ones for you. If you want to live your life authentically, then stop trying to fit yourself to those standards that ate set, you know that you don’t want to live your life living it up to the standards. Show them that you are, you. Whether they don’t like it or won’t accept the way you are living your life them leave their opinions to themselves. Start living your life, the way you want it to be. Do not let the fear of not being accepted by the people around you, stop you from living life to its fullest. There are people, who will be awed by how you shine on your own way.
• Be your own cheerleader. It is now the time to push yourself to cheer for the own. Stop the “seeking for validation to others” thingy. Have you ever experienced this certain scenario where you were rooting for people, cheering for them as they yell you something they are passionate about, their goals, the dreams they want to achieve. And you tell them amazing advice and encourage them to go for it. But when you tell them what fascinates you, they just laughed at you and tell you can’t do it, it is too high for you to reach. I know this is a disappointing case to experience. I have been there and it is painful to handle. But when it comes to this experience, do not let if affect you where you will reach the point of giving up just because you think they are right. When others can’t cheer for you, you cheer for yourself. Go for that dream, take a leap of faith. Even when you don’t have supporters, support your own self. Even the progress getting towards it may be slow as long as you push yourself to start doing the work, progress whether big or small is still a progress. You want to apply for this university, apply for it. You want to do web designing, start doing what you need to do. You want to pursue this career even you don’t approval of your parents or your family, do it. All of those things you have in mind, you can do it all. Bring out the courage thing you and start doing the work you need to do for yourself. It is not the time fitting yourself into something that you know isn’t the right one for you. Do not live your life the way others want you to live it. You cannot just agree to that. Do not let the opinions of others crushed your hopes, your dreams, your goals. If you feel you are lacking the support, just continue. You have, you. You are not alone. Maybe the people around you weren’t just the right people to surround yourself with. That is why stepping out of your comfort zone is necessary. Even if you have fears on what may happen, just go for it. You might never know that they are lots of good things that are waiting for you out there.
Here’s a thing. You know the people you used to hang out with or should I say your friends will not stay with you forever. That is why you need to value independence. You need to try living life by yourself. Because our journey through life will require walking towards our purpose alone. There are people that will accompany you along the way, some may even try to tripped you while walking. But still, we all have our own paths to take. You cannot force yourself walking with them, it doesn’t work that way. You know you will walk toward your own path. And at times we will feel lost, confused, don’t even what to do next. But eventually you will still find a solution how to get there. Love your life, darling… Sometimes you will fall but learn how to stand up and carry on. Help yourself. And as you go to different phases of life and transformation, remember that you are not alone. You will through all of with yourself. Remember to pause and reflect throughout your existence, you pushed yourself this far. Reach for your dreams in life, with yourself. Be bold, be strong, be fearless. (•ᴗ•)❤Download Novelah App
