Dear You,

If you go on my tumblr (that little button with a curvy t over there or right here) you saw this quote recently and it has affected me quite deeply. 

I've struggled with this my entire life, always comparing myself to others and making sure I was doing the right thing, the same thing as everyone else. I was always self conscious about what I was doing because I was a little different, I didn't like what everyone else did and I would have rather stayed home to practice my violin than sit around while a bunch of girls did each others makeup. I was just different. 

And all of these differences made me incredibly self conscious leading to a very nervous teenager who felt the need to validate every move and action through life. 

However, recently I've learned from Emma Watson that it's okay not to like what everyone else pretends to love. I just need to focus on myself and stop comparing myself to everyone around me. It's been a huge revelation in my life because really why do I pretend to be someone I'm not?

I'm hoping one day that I can have the confidence to be someone who doesn't need validation. To do whatever I want to, even if it seems insane and different than everyone else. I'm working on not comparing myself but nothing happens overnight, if I just keep reminding myself that it's okay to be different, I think I'll be alright. I'm my own person and I need to remember that. 

Leave me your thoughts in the comments below!

Have an Amazing Day!
