Stand Out

There are many people that I personally know, and I know there are thousands other people in this world that is scared to be their selves because they "stand out too much." Well if you are someone who is afraid of this and they change who they are to fit in with certain people, stop. It's not a bad thing to be yourself. It's not a bad thing to stand out. And it's diffidently not a bad thing to be unique. You like a style type that's not popular. Who cares? Wear what you want. You pretend to like things you don't so certain people will accept you? Don't. If you like something, do it or wear it or watch it or whatever you do to keep that alive. Because the things you like help define you. It's who you are. If you don't like something, don't pretend to like it just because someone around you likes it. If you are pretending to be someone you're not because you are scared of the people closest to you judging you, stop. If someone is so close to you that you are scared of rejection, they need to know the real you. If you are the real you and they leave, it will only hurt for now. It won't last forever. If they are truly that close to you and they are as important to you as you think, then they won't judge you for being the real you. It's better to be yourself completely and find the people you can trust indefinitely, than to pretend to be someone you're not and end up becoming that particular character because everyone around you loves the fake you. Don't be afraid to be yourself. Don't be afraid to be unique. Don't be afraid to stand out. Because standing out while being yourself is one of the greatest things you could ever do. Stop being afraid and just be you.
