It's good to have little weird things about you, and it's good to embrace those things.
This past week, I got a lot of criticism for a previous article I had written because others didn't think I had told the truth. I started to feel down on myself cause the fact was I know I didn't lie about anything in that article. Then I realized that their opinions didn't matter and if they don't like it, then I honestly don't care. Nobody in this world should have to apologize or change what they believe or who they are to make other people happy. This leads me into why no one should have to apologize for being for who they are.
This is the only life you're going to live, so you shouldn't spend it trying to please everyone. The fact is that not everyone is going to like you, and some people are going to try and put you down to bring themselves up.That's not to say that if there is actually something you know you did wrong you shouldn't apologize because you defiantly should. But if people are going to always judge the things you do or call you a liar when you know you aren't, then screw them, because their opinion doesn't matter. At the end of the day, it's your job to love who you are and it's not your job to change who you are so everyone else does too.
There is only one you in this world, so don't try and change who you are as a person just to end up like everyone else. God or whatever higher power you believe in made you the way you are for a reason. Why would you want to change that just to become like every other being that they have created. It's good to be a little weird. It's good to have little odd things about yourself, and if other people think that your odd things are too weird, then they are obviously not fun people and they shouldn't be in your life anyway.
It's important to love who you are, and not for everyone else to love who you are. You are the one who lives under your skin—no one else does, and if you keep changing who you are then eventually you'll stop loving yourself. As a generation, Millennials always want to conform with each other so they don't stand out from the crowd, but what is life when everyone is exactly like each other? It's boring and looks a lot like "Fahrenheit 451." The world would be sad and miserable if everyone did the same exact thing. That why it's important to embrace the weird things about you because once you stop doing those things then, that's when you stop being you. That's when you start to stop loving who you are, and you honestly can't love anyone or anything unless you love yourself first. That is the most important reason to never apologize for being who you are.
