Part 2
“𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵?” She asked me while I took my storm trooper mask to the studio. ⁣
Because I want to. ⁣

So many people will judge us for who we are, what we do, what we look like. Let them. That is their own issue. She does not like Star Wars (she has never watched it), so she does not appreciate the Storm Trooper mask. I know a few of you will smile at it, like I did. ⁣

Not everyone has to agree with us. It took me such a long time to see that. One of my parents literally told me before that they loved me but did not like me as a person. They had me take a personality test, twice. To say that I was upset and worked hard to make people like me is an understatement. ⁣
I feel hard. I love hard. I laugh hard. ⁣
⁣

I have been so guilty of listening to others judgements. I wanted to write a book and listened to someone who said I was too young, people would not take me seriously. I do not have enough experience. Yet, when I begin sharing my story with people they are shocked at how many lives I have lead within my 27 years. ⁣

Do something today purely for you. Take a step in a direction that makes your soul smile, even if it makes others cringe or laugh.
