In today’s society, more than ever, there is a pressure to do the things everyone is doing and to act exactly the way other people are acting. Especially in school, peer pressure is a very prominent topic and it often damages a person more than it gives them a sense of belonging. So, I just wanted to say that it is okay if:
you do not think it is cool to go out, drink and get completely wasted every weekend.
you have not had sexual experiences at whatever age.
you do not look the way society labels as perfect and ideal - you are not ugly, my love, you are good enough the way you are.
you avoid gossiping about others under any circumstance - this just shows that you are a pretty awesome human being, do not let other peoples’ need to bash someone become your way of fitting in.
you enjoy your own company the most - you do not have to be around other people constantly, it is okay if you need time to recharge, darling.
other people might view you as ‘boring’ or as an outsider - you do you and you have to remember that the others’ opinions do not define you, they say more about them than they say about you.
You were born to be special, my love. Born to give the world something it has never seen before. So, please do not let anyone take that away from you. Your life is not about being cool, fitting in, being beautiful and being liked by as many people as possible. Your life is about you - and only about you. Be brave enough to swim against the tide. Do not become someone you do not want to be. Do not waste the wonderful human being you are. Show your true colours and be unapologetically yourself.
