Being Different From Your Family Can Be Hard Sometimes. Because No Matter How Hard You Try To Fit In,

Being different from your family can be hard sometimes. Because no matter how hard you try to fit in, you will always come back disappointed. All you can do is love them and accept yourself.

I love seeing women of all ages at the gym taking control of their bodies, no content creating, no pictures, no people pleasing, just the grind. The conversations hit differently when you’re a 24 year old sharing a station with a 60 year old who works as hard as you. Greatest life lessons stem from Observation. You start thinking aging is not as bad as we’ve been told. This makes me appreciate older women with clarity. The confidence that comes with aging is unparalleled.

The hardest pill to swallow is the fact that you can’t make people love you the way you want them to love you. You can show them how to love you but you can’t make them implement. It’s their choice. It doesn’t negate anything about you. Not everything is about you. Accept it and move along.

I have been always been the person to cringe every time I have to appear in front of people either live or virtually in a video. I always cringe hearing myself speak. I grew up being bullied and made fun of for the way I looked. I mean it wasn’t my fault. So I grew up a very anxious and super self conscious child. I was diagnosed with ADHD last year. In the past few months I really always saw myself looking good and people always complimented me. I never believe them, I always thought they are saying that because they have good and kind hearts. Recently I’ve been feeling horrible because my Fibro is making me gain so much weight and I’ve been body shaming myself without even realizing. When I said that to an old friend of mine, he said that my face is coming out and i look good. After him, 2 of my other friends said that as well. I’m here to tell you that you need to let go of the opinions of those that looked down on you and start embracing the ones that elevate you and make you feel better. I believe this is a start of healing. I feel like I’ve been holding myself back because of what an 8 year old said 16 years ago. I no longer care. It feels good to feel good about yourself. It really does.

You’re reading a book and suddenly you put it down and take a deep breath while contemplating what you just read. My gurl, you’re in too deep.

You 0: 1 Book

I believe we meet people for a reason. If only I knew that reason.
