A dear friend of mine posted this video on FB today and it totally SCREAMS my mantra 'Be You, Not Them'. I would love to hear this in English, but I guess I'll just have to settle for the subtitles, which is fine because the action in the video speaks for itself. Duchesses, and my Dukes as well that read this, have you ever felt like you didn't fit in while trying so hard to do so, were you unhappy trying to be someone else just to fit the norm? I spent a great portion of my life doing so, sad as it sounds... but in this past year I have discovered me. Geek me. Sassy punker with a love of Chuck Taylors and purple hair. A maker of all things fun and fantastic. A poet that was once buried in her own shame.
How do you live your life? By comparing it to others? I'll tell you now, that's not the way to go.... You'll just be unhappy. Trust me... been there done that.
1. Ask your self this and write this down.... WHO are you? If you can't answer that right away, then it's time to do a self inventory.
2. Write down what you LOVE about you, that is different from others. CELEBRATE your UNIQUENESS!
3. Do not be afraid to EXPRESS your UNIQUENESS... whether it is in art, writing, the way you dress or wear your hair.
4. Don't be afraid to experiment with your creativity and expression.
5. Surround yourself by people who accept you for who you really are, not for what they expect you to be.
Those are just a few things to guide you to your happiness in being YOU...
Much Love....
The Duchess...
