A little letter to myself

Society tells us we aren’t supposed to be happy alone.

Society tells us that we aren’t good enough if we are alone.

Society puts us all into one big bucket together. Forgetting, or maybe ignoring, all of our differences, our individuality.

But when you find that you are alone and that you think none of societal rules fit you, you can get knocked off your path.

Your internal compass is broken, by societal standards, because you don’t want to let society tell you what to do.

But you have that well worn groove in your brain telling you that you don’t know what to do for yourself and you will never know what to do if you’re alone.

Society tells us that “social” means we all must fit in and to fit in we must all follow the same rules.

Here’s the thing…Nobody, no one, nothing can tell ME what to think or believe. Especially about myself.

I get to define what “social” means for me.

I get to feel happy, excited, or whatever the hell I want to feel.

I have that power. I have that control.

I get to pave my own path.

My brain is amazing.

My power is endless.

I embrace that. I embrace myself. .

I’m definitely worth it. I always was.
