Recently, a lot of things have been going through my brain.

I've noticed that we all crave attention from people and need their approval for things. That's not okay. Why do we look for verification and justification about OUR choices from other people? I'm not being hypocritical here, I know I look for approval from others but I also know that their opinion shouldn't change my mind or make up my mind.

I stopped caring if people were okay with what I wear and how I do my hair.

I stopped caring if people thought I was loud and obnoxious or super quiet.

I stopped caring if people liked who I talk to.

I only cared about what I think about my decisions. My opinions are what matter most to me, and sometimes they get me in the most trouble. I won't hesitate to tell you that going back to your cheating boyfriend makes you look like an idiot. I won't hesitate to tell you that you look like a pedophile being in your twenties dating someone in their teens. I'm done sugar-coating things and being quiet on things I don't want to be.

I speak my mind about our so-called president, I don't care what people think of my outfits, hair, and makeup and I talk to whoever I want to. Becoming a care-free, no bull, kind of person has made me a happier person. My depression isn't as bad because I'm not talking down on myself and my appearance anymore. I'm finally at the point where I think dating is an option for me again, even after the trauma of my last couple boyfriends.

Being a care-free person makes me question less and it makes life more fun. I have a blog where I cuss up a storm and tell it like it is. That's an outlet I can use to just stop worrying about people's reactions. My writing has gotten easier because I have no fear writing about things I normally wouldn't. I've written about my sexual assault, my depression, my faith and the many adventures I've been on.

I'm care-free but I'm still me.

I just drop the f-bomb more often.
