What’s the best advice you’d give to someone younger than you?
🐝 YOURSELF!
I spent years thinking I was being myself.
I wasn’t.
I was performing a version of me that made everybody else comfortable.
A version that fit the room. Fit the group. Fit what people expected from me.
And the wild part is, when you do that long enough, you can start believing that version is really you.
Being who you are at the base level may not always sit well with those around you.
Tuff titty.
As long as what you’re doing is what’s best for you, and the intention behind it is self-growth and positive energy, then that’s their personal problem.
So to the young one reading this…
Just be yourself.
Because every other version of you requires maintenance.
You have to remember who you’re supposed to be around this person, that group, in this room, or in that situation.
Being yourself requires none of that.
No performance. No costume. No permission.
Just you.
And that may not make everybody comfortable.
Tuff titty. 🐝 YOURSELF. 🤷🏾♂️💯
