Be Yourself, No One Else

You are unique for a reason; Don’t let anyone stand in your way.

Be Yourself, No One Else

There is so much pressure in society to change who you are. Or what you look like. It's 2019...STOP IT! No one should change their self for anyone. You are perfect the way you are. No amount of makeup or diets will change that.

I don't have the “perfect" body. My thighs are big. My stomach isn't flat. There shouldn't be a problem with that. There's no such thing as the “perfect" body. Everybody's body is different. We should all stop pressuring people to change how they look. It's stupid. No one should have to feel insecure because they don't look like the picture perfect models that we see in magazines.

We shouldn't have to change our personalities either. I can be who I want to be. I shouldn't have to change my thoughts or beliefs just to conform to society. Everyone has their own opinions. Suck it up, people. Just because someone doesn't believe in a certain law as you do doesn't mean they're a horrible person.

Being yourself doesn't mean you're selfish. It means that you like who you are and you don't want to change. We need more uniqueness. There is no such things normal. Personally being called “normal" is an insult to me. I hate that word. I'm a goofy person. I'm weird. But I get looked at differently because I don't act “normal." Well, get over it. Because at the end of the day I'm gonna be who I wanna be. There's no changing it.

My body is not to please you. My mind is not to please you. I don't need to change myself in any way to be beautiful. No one does. We are all beautiful in every way.

Stop judging people. It's pointless. Let me be me.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
