Unleash all those hidden gems of yours

I used to get my hair cut just like everyone else, Buy new clothes that I thought were on trend just to fit in, Keep my opinion to myself, in fear of being different, Take photos of my food, because everyone else was. I would feel inferior to those who seemed to be have more, know more, be more This is how my mind used to think. There are many people who have never experienced this way of thinking, which is so awesome, But there are many who do think this way. Because all we ever want is to fit in. Living and thinking this way took so much energy, Trying to be that person I thought I needed to be. It wasn’t healthy, nor was it any fun & so freakn stressful at times. It’s taken me a while to get to this point, Maybe it’s got a bit to do with getting older, Spending the time actually getting to know myself properly, But I also know, it has a lot to do with, Recognising this behaviour and adjusting it, And quite frankly, I was over trying to be someone Im just not. Now I’m comfortable to be me Wild haired, wear what I want, do what I want, sometimes chatty, sometimes reserved self. It feels so free and easy. If you feel you’ve been playing by others rules, You don’t have to anymore. Be brave and be just who you are. I have a friend, And for many years she dyed her hair red, She wore red And her home was furnished in red. She's one of the most authentic beings I have ever meet, And she's a breath of fresh air. I learnt a lot from her, simply by her being her. Don’t hold back on being your true self, Go wild, unleash all those hidden gems of yours And just BE YOU, You are more attractive this way xx
