Be weird

Owning who you are is hard. In a society that is numbing us to conform, stepping into your true self feels like climbing Mount Everest. It's isolating, it's unknown, and it's uncomfortable.

But the best things in life are on the other side of that. When you embrace your quirks and what makes you, you. Life becomes much more meaningful. You start to connect with people on deeper levels. You start to do more things that bring you joy. And you start to uncover your purpose.

The more awkward you feel, the better. I remind myself that this is where I develop strength. Creating a new identity means shedding an old one. This process is beautiful. It's an awakening.

Keep being brave. Keep being uncomfortable. Keep leaning into who you are. And don't tap out.
