Just. Be. Yourself.

🤪Idk just a goofy picture of me still in highschool. 7th March, 2024. Added 17th January, 2025.

I know for a fact you've heard this. But the older I get (I'm 19) the more I realize how everything is about being "easier said than done." No wonder some words you hear all the time, because in reality, they aren't that easy to follow and put into reality/action.

My struggle with the words "be yourself" was always that it seemed hard. It seemed hard not because I hated who I was or wanted to be, but because I was scared that other people would. In short, I was wayyy too concerned what other people think.

But now I'm telling you, from the wisdom of a 19-year-old, (lol), to just please be yourself.

Please, it doesn't matter.

I stopped caring what other people think (they don't care either).

At the end of, some time, you will realize it too.

It's ridiculous to work yourself up, over, literally just trying to be yourself and worrying what other people will think.

Nah. Please. Just wear what to wear, do the trends you like, say what you want to say, and do what you want to do.

And the real ones will stay. The ones that want the real you.

You don't even have a real relationship with anyone until you are unapologetically, authentically, yourself.

Also at the end of the day, no one cares (just a general rule you can use for anything).

You will feel at peace when you let go in this way, and have a lot more fun by using that time you used to be worrying, living your best life.
