Press play, and read on. (It was my soundtrack for writing tonight. Hope you enjoy it as a soundtrack for reading.)
What do you do when
- you’re not supposed to fit in
- and you live in a culture where fitting in means everything.
?
What do you do when
- what you value with every fiber of your being
- is regarded largely as outdated or outlandish (and the people who value it are labeled as outcasts).
?
What do you do when
- what is required of you in order to stay true to your convictions (to live what you believe)
- requires you to do (or not do) what will make most of the people you meet think you’re weird for doing (or not doing) it?
?
You accept
- that when you aren’t loved
- when you aren’t approved
- when you aren’t accepted
you are valuable.
You trust
- that dislike or hate
- and disapproval
- and rejection
have no power over who you are.
You believe
- that who you are
- and how much you are worth
depend only on this:
the fact that you exist.
Because you are here on purpose.
Don’t forget it.
