Good Morning World!!
“I never intended to become a run-of-the-mill person.” – Barbara Jordan
One thing I have never been is “regular.” And honestly, that wasn’t by choice. There have been plenty of times when I’ve looked at people living comfortable, predictable lives and thought that seemed pretty nice. But life didn’t deal me those cards. Instead, I was given a personality that stands out. I’ve never really fit in anywhere, and I realized at a young age that I was a little different. So I stopped fighting it and learned to embrace it. It has only been in recent years, though, that I’ve become completely comfortable with my uniqueness. And that’s okay. I am exactly who I was meant to be. My life hasn’t always been easy, but it has been full of incredible experiences, meaningful accomplishments, and opportunities that many people only dream about. That doesn’t mean I’m done growing or striving for more. It just means I sometimes pause to appreciate the life I’ve lived and the person I’ve become. So if you’ve ever felt like you don’t fit in, maybe that’s not a flaw. Maybe that’s the point. The world doesn’t need another copy of someone else. It needs you. So stop trying to squeeze yourself into a box that was never meant for you. Embrace who you are and run with it.
Happy Wednesday!
