be real
OVERALL RATING
#realtalk I told myself that I was no longer going to gage my self worth based solely on what was staring back at me.....what I wasn't seeing was starting to dictate how I was feeling, hindering any recognizable success that didn't come in the form of aesthetics. Someone once said act like you want to feel....bull ****. Forget pretending, act as you truly FEEL. Putting on a fake smile isn't going to make you feel happy. Being strong doesn't mean never being vulnerable, never sucking at life, never getting lost, never feeling blue.....some of the strongest people I know are the ones who are not afraid to turn their feelings inside out, to share the struggle with those looking in, to actually act blue. Their those who ask for directions when they lose their map as opposed to wandering aimlessly in hopes of one day stumbling onto the right path. It has not, will not always be easy for me, or you. Somedays the sheer will power to simply stay on track is a never ending crazy head space battle between the immediate want vs. long term worth of that action. Today I reminded my reflection to go be braver than I've ever been, to dream BIG again, to chase that taste for success, to think like a champ, act like a boss, be a warrior.....#heregoeseverything
