Becoming You!

OK, here's a tricky one for most of us. No seriously, being you in today's society is like being an ant getting squashed by something larger than it. By that I mean no one really cares about you unless you fit into their so called "perspective" or "expectations", or if you are famous. Don't get me wrong, having high expectations for yourself is great, although us humans can take things overboard at times. Let's be honest with ourselves for a change, one of the first steps to happiness is accepting who you are & how God

made you. That's it. Don't ever let anyone tell you that you are worth nothing & that your being on this rotating object called Earth is pointless. The point is that all of us have a purpose. In order to find that purpose, we must find God, and find ourselves.

So many of us are afraid of walking alone. We are so afraid of failing or not accomplishing what we have set out to do. We spend so much time thinking about what won't happen instead of what could happen if we stepped out in faith. I can tell you that walking alone at times in your life will help you grow. It helps you learn & mature. It may not feel good at the time, you may feel like the world is against you, but you're growing, you're finding yourself, you're becoming you. There has been many times in my life where I had no other choice but to walk alone. I can remember crying myself to sleep at night, feeling so alone, smiling while hurting, but no one knew what I was going through. During that time frame I learned so much about me, about people, about this world. I learned that even though I went through hard times, I still managed to overcome things that looked like they would swallow me up. I saw the light at the end of a tunnel, a silver lining behind a cloud, a yes after a no, and a desire to want to be more in life than just a normal human being. Everyone has a dream or a goal that they want to reach. Wait.....that YOU HAVE TO REACH!! You have to live out your dream. You have to reach your goal. You have to want it just as bad as you need air to breath. Once you realize what you are worth & who you are, there isn't anything that will stop you. Conquering yourself is one of the greatest feelings in the world. Although I still feel insecure, weird, not worthy, or even alone at times, I know that I'm still growing & maturing. Your time will come. My time will come. Just be patient. God knows what is best for all of us. In the meantime, put your phone down, deactivate your Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, whatever social media you have for a few days and connect with yourself & God. You will be amazed at how much better you will feel. We've gotten so accustomed to social media and fitting in that we've forgotten what real life actual feels like. How to talk to someone, how to care about someone, or what actual "feelings" are for someone. It's scary, but it's up to you to be different from the rest. Will you follow the crowd or will you lead them? Will you be a copy or an original? You were created to be creative & to do creative things in your own unique way. The question is......when will you start?
