Finding Your Place In The World

Sometimes you may feel as if you don't fit in anywhere. It's not that you stand out from the crowd, it's just a feeling that you're not the same as everyone else. No one would separate you as being different, for you're not sharing who you really are. You have tried to blend in with the norm for so long that you may find it challenging to be yourself. Who are you and where do you belong? Being unique may be easier than you think. When you were younger, it was important to be like everyone but you are no longer there. It's time to take inventory of all the things that make you who you are. Stop leaning on others for their opinion and start finding your place in the world. Celebrate your uniqueness for it's what will help you to succeed in life.
Smell the flowers along the way...

(In high school, the goal was to fit in. I was very good at it. It's easier to go along with everyone, than it is to stand up for what I believed in. Not that I knew what I believed in at that age. I celebrate being older and being myself. It feels good to finally be myself, knowing that no one really cares. The present is a good place to be right now.)
