In a world of people
being who they are not... Be the person you are!!!!
Pencil skirts and Portafino shirts....
Denim shorts and hooded tops... Straight laced... Foul mouthed...
Neat buns.... Messy curls... Perfect soft pink lips... smudged eye
liner... Educated and Intelligent... Ditzy and clumsy... who is the
real me? Does it need to be a choice? Can we really not have our cake
and eat it when it comes to ourselves? Well I say if you baked it...
own it and eat the fucking thing! If there is one person in this
world who hates the phrase YOLO but loves the meaning You Only Live
Once, its this Cinderella.
Who decides who you are? Society? I'm
in my 30's and I still I see two separate worlds before me. I see
people who have aged way before their time and act like they are in
their 50's and I see people who should be owning it in their mid
lives and are still struggling to keep up but what's stopping us from
having it all? We live in a world of motivational pictures, social
trending quotes telling us to be all we can be and an era where
hardly anything IF anything is impossible (okay maybe if you are
trying to fly yourself that' s going to be a little hard but hey they
say its aerodynamically impossible for a Bee to fly yet we all know
how that ends so there is hope yet.. ), so why do we find it so hard
for ourselves to BE ourselves?
Why are we so scared to be more than
one stereotype or more than what we were made for? I'm not saying
everyone has to have two personalities... that's just stupid... (Or
that's just me, I'm still figuring it out), but if there are multiple
parts to us why is so hard for others to accept? Why can we not be
fun and serious? Why cant we be smart and casual? Intelligent and
doff? Funny and dry? Tidy and a lil scattered? Who the fuck knows?
All I know that is wont let society pigeon hole me and tell me who I
am supposed to be.
If I want to wear a pretty floral frock
one day and slum it in my jeans and snow boots the next that's my
prerogative. If I want to dance like Brittany to radio music at my
desk but rock out to Great White while I'm cooking supper that's MY
choice. If I want to deal with numbers all day and paint all night –
that's again for ME to decide. I'm happy with who I am cos it took me
31 fucking long hard years to get here and I wont let short sighted
strangers who's met for all of 5 seconds, or an acquaintance who
thinks they know me, judge me on that.
Be the best YOU you can be!
That's all that matters!
