You know how when you reach a certain age you accept who you are...flaws and all?You accept the fact that you nerd out over stupid things. You have a crass sense of humor. You sometimes chew with your mouth open. You dance around like an idiot when your team wins or cry when they lose. You accept yourself completely and don't pretend to be something you are not just to please other people.
You are proud of the person you are and wave your freak flag with your head held high!!
I love that feeling!! I intensely love being who I am around anyone and everyone and not giving a damn if people don't like me. I also seriously enjoy the people who do like me for who I am. The ones that allow me to be silly without judgement. The ones who challenge me to up my game.
These are the right people to have in your corner. The right people let you be you...fucked up and all...and still have your back. The right people will love you no matter what.
So to my younger readers...don't worry about trying to be something you are not. Be you, and the right people will love you for who you are, NOT who you are pretending to be. THEN, you can join the rest of us with your freak flag =)
Love this!
