I Am Not Sorry For Who I Am

And you should NEVER feel compelled to be...

I Am Not Sorry For Who I Am

So each any every one of us is made up of thousands of different little niches and things that make us who we are. We all have a unique voice that we can beautifully express in any way we feel necessary. We all have different hands that can create the most beautiful creations. We all have the most interesting minds that can figure out critical issues or think about the most amazing things. Bottom line, we are each fascinating, intriguing, incredible people and we should NEVER feel sorry for who we are. We should never apologize for our passions, our beliefs, and everything that makes us, us!

My passions make me who I am. I could not imagine a life without my camera by my side because that is the thing that I am most passionate about. It makes me who I am, it’s what I excel in, it is what makes me happy. I am NOT sorry about that either, as you should never feel bad that your passion is cooking or that your passion is solving complex math equations because…. WHO CARES! That is what makes you unique and what separates you from the people around you. As long as you are not hurting someone in the meantime, then keep doing whatever you are the most passionate about, because you should NEVER feel sorry for who you are.

My beliefs make me who I am. If I was Buddhist, if I was Catholic, if I was Muslim, I should not feel bad about myself! We all should not conform to one religion or belief because again, that makes us all different. Difference is beautiful. It should be amazing that we can all believe in a different God, or not one at all, and yet still get along! You should never have to apologize for being left, for being right, for being a member of the Green Party because our political views are another thing that makes us unique! We should be nothing but happy that we are lucky enough to live in a nation where we can all think differently and be different, and not have to worry if our life is on the line! Our beliefs make us who we are, and you should NEVER have to apologize for what makes you who you are.

All in all, I am who I am. I am not sorry for being passionate in all I do. I am not sorry for following my dreams. I am not sorry for having my own beliefs. I am not sorry for being who I am. Each and every one of us is a beautiful, unique, and incredible individual. As long as you are only doing things in your best interest and not hurting anyone in the meantime… Be unapologetic! You should never have to apologize or feel sorry for the person that you are. Again, you are amazing. Keep being amazing. Then, be amazing and conquer the world, because I have faith in each and every one of us that we can do amazing things.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
