This morning’s post feels like a breakthrough for me, and it was something I had to do for myself. For too long, I was the girl who would not open up about anything, then I became the girl who selectively opened up, only about the things she wanted. That was never enough, for me. I’ve always said I need to put less pressure on myself, but maybe this time it’s paid off.
This is a feeling I’m incredibly not used to, but it feels good as well as uncomfortable. It reminds me of the times it felt wrong to be happy, because it was something that was so different for me. Being open is good for me, it’s amazing. I’ll always remember something I heard on an inspiring school trip that I’d like to share with you guys, because they’re pretty wise words;
“If you’re feeling comfortable, get the hell out. Go and find something uncomfortable. Go and find an uncomfortable place to be. Not a stupidly uncomfortable place, but somewhere you know you need to be, but that you’re just really scared of going there. Just go there. Nothing’s gonna get you there apart from just go there. So be it Kazakhstan, be it on stage, or whatever. Whatever it is for you, just go there.” - Justin Connor.
So hello, this is me. The girl I thought I’d never be, but I am extremely proud of.
The thing I’ve learnt today, is that life should never be about proving things to other people, but about showing yourself who you are. It’s about showing yourself how capable, strong, beautiful, and amazing you are, to deal with anything that is thrown your way.
Push yourself to your limits, and do the things you know you can do. Stop searching, and start believing.
Stand strong and tall, so you can reach those stars.
