I would have preferred to have learned earlier in life to appreciate being the unique person that I am. It sounds very cliche but I didn’t like being so different early on in my life.
I wanted to fit in with others and have some sort of “normal” trajectory in my life career wise. That didn’t happen. Now, I am grateful for that. I wasn’t meant for that type of way to progress.
When you dig deeper into the lives of seemingly “normal” people, you will find that oftentimes, there is darkness behind the facade of normality and having everything going on great.
I like who I am and the person I am continuously becoming and I will not let anyone (on social media or in real life) make me feel less than.
Learn to cherish who you are while you are younger and enjoy your journey in life, creating a person you evolve into being.
