Repeat After Me
I don't need to do what everyone wants me to do.
I don't need to anticipate people's needs and wants.
I don't need anyone to approve of me.
I don't have to explain myself.
I don't need to feel guilty about my boundaries.
I don't have to say yes if I want to say no.
I don't need to feel bad for staying home.
I don't have to overextend myself to be enough.
I don't have to minimize my emotions.
I don't need to pretend I'm different than I am.
I don't have to put others before myself.
Don't apologize for how you laugh, how you dress, your size, how you do your hair, how you speak. Embrace your true self and live fearlessly.
It's time to accept that this is you. Start loving your sarcasm, awkwardness, weirdness, unique habits, sense of humor, voice, talents, everything.
Simply put, just be you! Life is but a blink so remember, self-acceptance and empowerment are key to living a life you deserve.
Choose to live by choice, not chance. Be motivated, not manipulated. Be useful, not used. Choose self-esteem, not self-pity. Listen to your inner voice, not the random opinions of others. This is your power.
Propel yourself forward not by telling others of your trauma or baggage but by propelling yourself forward with tales of happiness, accomplishment, empathy, and joy.
Remember Repeat after me:
I am a f**cking awesome person who has dealt with so much sh*t in my life and I have made it through it all! I am still cute af, brave, funny, nice and intelligent and I KICK A**!!!
Stay Fearless, my friends!
