about two or three months into my new job my coworker told me when i first started she didn’t think i liked her. i asked her why and she said well you seemed cool and confident and sure enough of yourself that you didn’t feel the need to go out of your way to impress or please people. to be honest this was kind of shocking at first because i wasn’t rly sure how they were perceiving me but to be fair i spent those first couple months being so hard on myself to let my personality come through in an authentic way and i guess it worked! i think taking the time to learn and understand yourself is truly a blessing and somewhat a curse but this meant a lot to me

my life greatly improved when i stopped trying to anticipate what other people expected me to say (i’m pretty bad at it) and started being straightforward and honest about how i feel and what i think. don’t hide behind being nonchalant and ironic! show people how much you do care and who you genuinely are! it’s scary, but makes it much easier to discern who you truly vibe with and remember who you truly are :)

been thinking a lot about self-awareness lately and what makes me “me.” I’m always trying to figure out how to transform my inner critic to real personal growth without shame.
being honest and not editing myself to any given room was one of the first things I began to tackle in therapy. existing among other humans is an ongoing give and take, and Being Who You Are without apology while treating others with respect is really all you need to do in this life. learning how to be kind and true, and finding the good amongst so much bad and then sharing it with others makes the world go ‘round

because wanting to be liked by everyone ALL THE TIME is far too exhausting and never worth it.
“just be yourself” is probably the most basic piece of advice ever given and yet somehow it’s taken me 24 years of my life to finally start considering it. funny how life works!
