Have you ever felt like you didn't belong? Have you ever felt like you were different? Have you ever realized you aren't being valued?

Well, I think we all can answer "yes" to these questions.

In this world we live in, I find too often that people are not valuing others for who they are. Instead, they are trying to change one another. I find that people are covering themselves with a mask to hide who they truly are on the inside and out. People are afraid to be themselves due to the peer pressure of society.

Mental health issues are skyrocketing high in our generation due to the need to "fit in." Social media, TV shows, movies, and many other things affect the way we look at ourselves on a daily basis. People are afraid to stick out in a crowd.

But hey, to the people who don't value who you are, goodbye.

We have to distance from the people or things in life that affect our image of ourselves. It is very important to surround yourself with people who value who you are as a person. Why? Because you deserve to be you. You deserve to look in the mirror and wipe off that mask. Wipe off the fake you.

Too often when changes and experiences occur, we question ourselves. It is good to self-reflect, but we do not need to blame ourselves for each and every little thing in life. You are trying to be you in a world full of secrecy, it's hard I get it.

Some people need to learn how to cope with it and guess what, that is ok. It is ok sometimes to not be ok. It is ok to feel overwhelmed managing society and your own beliefs and ways in life. It is vital for success to find the power to live the life you want to live. No one can live this life for you.

So, to the people who don't value who you are, goodbye.
