Why you’ve always thought you were different.

You’ve always thought you were different but, you chose to fit in as much as you could.
You were never the MOST popular at school but, you always did you best to fit into the most popular groups.
You were never the most INTELLIGENT of your friend group but, you always tried to prove you knew a lot of stuff.
And you were never really good at interacting socially, you kind of just stumbled in conversations.
But, you tried your absolute best to remain relevant and fit in.
All because you’d much rather be accepted by everyone as the SAME as everyone else (and only a little bit weird).
Than being completely yourself and have a very small number of people not like you.
You’re more comfortable with putting on a mask and being someone you’re not because, THAT means you don’t have to face any of your insecurities and doubts.
THAT means you get to completely forget about how you don’t like yourself and how you wished you were different.
Because for those 10 minutes when you’re putting on your mask, YOU don’t exist.
The person you’re portraying yourself to be has taken control.
And you would much rather have those 10 minutes of ignorance and hide away because that means you get to prove to yourself ONCE AGAIN, that you’re not good enough.
But, you’ve never given yourself a chance to show yourself that you ARE good enough brother.
Thats all you need to do.
Take that chance and prove it to yourself.
You CAN be good enough without having to live with doubting yourself every single day.
Just take that chance.
