I have developed a new understanding for “finding your own voice.”
How can you communicate who you are as a person to others? It is much easier said than done. Many problems exist. One problem is, with the world so intertwined culturally.. meanings of words.. mannerisms.. and actions.. become blurred.
For some I think fear also plays a role. Fear of showing weakness. Fear of showing strength. Fear of not holding up to expectations.
You are the only one who can define yourself… even if you are unclear at times.
I have realized recently that I have begun to let others’ words shape who I am becoming. I started to believe words that were thrown my direction…
My friend was right. I shouldn’t take things so personally.. but I also can choose to stay away from someone who isn’t making me feel good about myself.
Be comfortable with who you are. Believe you are. Own it.
