Being yourself is not easy in a world constantly trying to twist us into its absurd and uninteresting ideals of perfection. We don’t need to be perfect. We don’t need to conform to the monotonous expectations of society. We don’t need to hide our eccentricity and we definitely do not need to fit into a dull and mundane mold. We only need to practice being honest until we become comfortable in our own skin and can walk through this world without apologizing for who we are. Don’t let the world strip you of your essence. Conformity creates an existence of confusion and misery. Speak your truth and live exactly as you choose. Your soul’s longings are your guide on this journey. Let them lead the way.
