Deja Vu

Do you ever have those moments where you are instantly teleported to a past time in your life? It can be triggered by any of the five senses. Something you see, touch, taste etc., then suddenly BAM! You’re back to feeling something oddly familiar. Well I just had one of those instances that happened to be triggered visually. It’s amazing how the internet works, and allows us to see things that we never would have otherwise…..

The part that is most fascinating to me is the stark contrast to my end feelings of the situation between now and then. I once would have reacted thinking there was something wrong with me, that I needed fixing. Too often we want to put ourselves down mentally, which really takes a toll. The worlds biggest critic really is ourselves. But sometimes it is unwarranted. Manipulated in a way………

Now I take a step back and I begin to smile. See, I realize that I am WORTHY. I realize that I am MORE. and I realize that I am a BEAUTIFUL person, inside and out. We all are. Every quirk, out of place, messy, angry, sad, happy thing about us is an amazing gift that we were given to let shine out and touch and inspire people….. 

The saddest thing is how many people are afraid to let their strangeness show; Are afraid that it will make them not be “good” enough, or that they won’t “fit in”. My intention of writing this is to encourage you to be 100% your true self. No one else can do it, and that is what makes existing so beautiful. Be proud of the things that make up you, the results can be incredibly surprising……
