The Old and Beautiful…

Hello Hello! Today is my official second day back at school and I am here to tell ya it’s just like I left it almost a year ago: crowded and BORING! Side note, since being on my confidence journey I have realized how amazing it is to not be like everyone else! I am so thankful and blessed to have the knowledge at such a young age, that it’s okay to be different, and not fit the mold.

Being at school was tuff. I have a very mature sense of humor, and not the kind you are thinking of. Instead of joking about what the teacher said in the sixth period, I like to joke about how all the millennials have the same windows and how hideous they are. It’s not only my humor that separates me from the rest of the herd, it’s also everything about me ! I love to go to bed early, preferably 9 pm, and watch shows like “The Mary Tyler Moore Show”(I bet most of you readers will have to google this one), and “The Great British Baking Show”, so you get the point. I also am not really part of the Tik Tok trend.  Now I have the app ,but I only like to look fashion videos, and New York City. The funny thing is you see so many girls my age doing Tik Tok dances, and listening to songs about money, drugs, and other things that you can find in a strip club, while I am in my kitchen cooking homemade chocolate chip cookies, and watching Downton Abbey. But anyways I could go on and on about my granny life  my point is I am so proud of the person I am today, and I want to tell you, you should be too!

If you are in highschool, middle school or whatever, do not let what others are doing control your life! I used to be obsessed with dressing like the rest, and I was miserable ! My mother constantly had to help dress me, because I was so insecure about myself. I let others insignificant opinions drive me crazy ! I got so much anxiety about people I have never had a conversation with ! And when things don’t go the way you planned, or you say something embarrassing in front of the class, don’t worry. I once YELLED  “my butt won’t fit through these desks”,  just to make others laugh. Don’t be the self deprecator, it’s not funny to tear yourself down for others enjoyment, and it’s not even very funny ! But if your like me and you always say something stupid just think:  is anybody really paying attention? Do they even care?  Are they thinking about this when they go to sleep? NO! They are not! We make these crazy situations up in our heads, and we work ourselves up for what? For fun? Just BE YOURSELF! I swear you will make much more friends, and be so much more happy being yourself. Not Sally, not Jessica, no, YOU! Have an amazing day my loves!
