Hey you!

Yes you! Don’t look behind you, i am taking directly to you.

You are important, you are loved and most importantly, you belong in this world. Sure you might have it rough right now, or even feel on top of the world, but things change. Know that you are not alone. You have the strength within you, use it to reach out to others. Your voice matters and we want to hear it.

Stand tall and flip that hair with attitude. Wear that crop top you have been dying to, even if it shows your love handles. Put on that dress you love but you are insecure about, even if it shows your arms. Embrace who you are and so will the world.

If the world doesn’t embrace you, who cares? YOU ARE FABULOUS!

To an extent everyone wants to be loved or admired, and allot of us tend to people please to feel that way. You are heading down a path you will never be able to recover from. Each time you change and twist yourself to fit a mold they want, until the real you no longer exists. You want to look like them, dress like them and even start talking like them.

Sometimes you have to completely conceal your personality or water it down, to be meek and mild for acceptance. No one likes watered down anything. It’s hard to realise when you are in it. It seems normal even through it might feel a little unnatural sometimes. You shrug it of and move forward, getting smaller and smaller as you give more and more.

This is a very unhealthy way of going through life. Most of you even notice this and will continue down this road out of fear or guilt. Now is the time to rid yourself of this negative space. Take action and bloom through the cracks of the concrete.

When you can be you, and i mean truly you, you cannot be stopped. Your mind will be blown when you discover all the potential. Negative people or comments will no longer phase you. You know who you are and can stand proudly and say “this is me, come and get it”. You will shed the negative influencers in your life and gain true life long companions. Sure you will loose some people you deem your closest confidants, but years later, looking back, you will realise what the true nature of their “friendship” was.

Know you are beautiful, know you are confident, know you are unique. You deserve the best life has to offer. You deserve the full human experience, the down’s and the up’s. Stay the course to the true you, put in the effort required and reap the rewards that follow.

Look to the horizon for the easier life that follows when you discover the revelation of you. Asses your situation and address it, now is the best time for moving forward. Let us all burst out of our cocoons to a kinder and realistic life.

After all… everything starts with the first step and i know you can do it!

Till next time my butterflies…
