I see it everyday.... People trying to follow the crowd to be cool has always been very sad to me. I feel bad for the person and all the people around him/her because we don't realize that trying to fit in makes us nothing more than average, and there's nothing fun about being average in my eyes. When I wake up in the morning and brush my teeth, wash my face, and look in the mirror, I see myself in my purest form. No fancy clothes, no jewelry, nobody watching, just me and the mirror in front of me. I love that first look of the day. It let's me know that I still know who I am. I take pride in being who I am and growing into my own, even if it isn't to be the most popular kid in the city. I'm fine with the people I have in my life and I love all who loves me. I remember a time in my life when I was very down and wasn't to happy with who I was. I was over weight. I had a huge gap in between my teeth. I didn't have a lot of friends. I overall felt alone and less than everyone else. As I got older I lost all that weight, begged my mom for braces, and accepted the fact that my personality wasn't for your average kid. I learned to love myself and not turn my flaws into stress, but motivation. I believe we all have to do this and teach it to others because life is far too short to be spending it feeling bad for ourselves. Life can't be beautiful without acknowledging the fact that we are too. I love to see confident people walking around with their chests out, because they deserve to have that feeling. We all do. If you're reading this, I just want you to remember these words and always stay true to who you really are.
