To those girls who have been called intimidating, I am here to make sure you know that being someone who is confident is far from a bad thing. When first hearing that you may intimidate some people, maybe men in your life, or other women who put you down to make themselves feel better, you may think that this quality is negative. This is far from the truth. I have learned to embrace that part of myself. It is difficult at times because there will be people in your life who are going to walk away. There are going to be people who don't understand how someone can have confidence and so much positivity in their life. Never let those people bring you down.

There will be men who won't be able to handle all the amazing things that you have to offer and they are going to walk away. They won't be able to understand what an amazing person they are missing out on because they don't know how to be with someone who knows how to be their true self.

Most of the time I am very happy with who I am, but in the past I have had those experiences where someone didn't end up in my life because they didnt want to put in the time to understand me. Maybe I scared them, maybe they thought that I would be too much to handle. Whatever the reason, I felt heartbroken and did question whether I was just "too much", whatever that really means. I am learning to embrace this, just as I am learning so many things about myself in my 20's. Even for the women who "intimidate" because of their passion, intelligence, etc. there are going to be people in your life who love you and support you. There is going to be a man in your life who thinks that a woman like you is the most amazing gift. Most importantly, ,YOU are going to become so much more than anyone can imagine because you aren't TOO MUCH, you are worth SO MUCH.

So to the women who have been called intimidating, get out there and be you. You only have one life to live.
