Life is messy. And life is beautiful. My story is a mix of both and I’m sure yours is too. Many of us try to portray ourselves in a certain way or act like everything is going ‘A-Okay.’ But the truth is, not letting out our emotions and not showing our insecurities to the world causes backlash — backlash to ourselves. Why can’t everyone just let their true selves shine? Why is it so difficult to show others EXACTLY who we are? One thing I can say is .. your true self is your right self. However, I believe that the only way to live a happy and healthy life is to show yourself to the world, while also aiming to be your best self. But hey, I’m still figuring that out as well. That is the beauty of life — navigating your path and hitting bump roads along the way (which is a blessing in itself since you can only learn from experience).
