Harsh reality: not everyone is going to like you. While that is true, it is also a fact that there will be people who adore you & what you do. We all have times where we worry that we will not be received well or if we should be our full selves depending on the situation & who is around.
One day, it finally hit me, you can be the nicest person yet there will be someone who cannot stand you, but the opposite is also true. You can be a piece of garbage person & somehow, there will be someone that stays in your corner and adore you regardless.
Realizing this helped me come to a clear decision of going on a journey to living authentically & understanding that no one has to like me. It is not the end of the world if there is a person that dislikes you even if you have done nothing wrong towards them.
I am a low energy, introverted woman who enjoys writing, reading, sipping tea daily & die-hard fan of heavy metal music. I am an off-putting mystery to most, intriguing to some, but what you think and feel of me is entirely up to you. I’ll continue to enjoy my life and my own company.
The world continues to turn; life keeps going and so do I.
Authenticity scares more people than you think. The more comfortable you are, the more uncomfortable they may feel. That’s not your problem though. You aren’t responsible for anyone’s happiness & as long as you aren’t harming anyone in the process, it’s not your job to go out of your way to make others comfortable. Understanding yourself paves the way to an enjoyable, comfy life, so start now if you haven’t already. Don’t let anyone stop you from or scare you from knowing yourself inside & out. Please remember that nobody knows you more than you know yourself.
