[Day 27] I went to a recent beauty event and saw some beautiful women. So many of them had not-so-beautiful social charisma. So many had their noses in the air and only wanted to gather compliments and accolades without giving back to the people who helped ignite their potential. Only giving photos and no conversation or smiles unless the camera pointed in their direction. Only speaking to those with equal amount of "likes", views, and followers...I began to look around and think, "is this what the people want?!" Is this what success looks like? I've been to many events and feel like I've hit a replay button. Then I go home and compare myself. Yes. I think, is this the reason why I'm less "shared" online? Am I not "a Bad B****?". I say things like, "I can't compete." I'm not the woman in the corner who only sticks with her click. I don't look "Hollywood" enough with my hair and approachable demeanor. I'll never stop hanging with the unpopular or inviting someone to hang with less followers. I can't compete. And when people told me "you're different. You'll never be like her." My heart would break. Not because I wanted to emulate her, but because I equated success with a specific kind of "it" factor that seemed to breed women that portrayed those specific characteristics. Today, I'm proud to say, F**** it. I don't care to be successful if it means I can't be me. I'm not conforming to these stupid social cues that keep us all divided. I won't do it! If you've ever seen anyone or anything who caused you to question your worth, stop. You are perfect just the way you are. If they won't sit with you, I will. We can be weird and different together. ❤️ tag someone who needs this encouragement. Tell them you love them and will sit with them no matter what. #honestmoment 🖖🏾 #toyaboos
