Why do we think we have too or need to explain ourselves to everyone.

Life is full of surprises and hurdles. And sometimes we can’t explain why things happen they way they do and how. But one thing I have learnt over the years is we don’t always have to explain ourselves to everyone, nor do we have to justify ourselves and feel bad for not putting everyone else first and putting yourself first for a change. And not staying quiet and just agreeing to make the other person happy. Life is too short. Your Happiness is a priority but don’t be a bitch about it. Live. Love. Be Kind. Be You. Be Generous. Be Accepting. But please don’t change who you are to suit others. I have loved life more and enjoyed life more knowing and believing I don’t always need to explain myself and justify to the other persons level. Life is hard enough. Life is shit enough. Life is full on enough without being unhappy within yourself.

Always do something for you. Do what you love daily! Even if you are alone or with your partner or friends. Just never forget to take 5 minutes to hour or so. But as long as it is 5 minutes minimum and do what you love to do.

People come and go in your life. Material things are just here. But Time and your happiness you will never get back. Quality Time is one of the most important things in life. Make your time count. You need you and your people need you.

In the last 6 weeks. I have been hanging out with my people and their people. And I was always scared to show my hand (my true colours) because I have always been told to hide it and keep my mouth shut. But my people love who I am and accept who I am. I am not scared anymore. I laugh lots. I have fun. I have a few beers. I enjoy life. I go out. I make time for my people. And I make time to be myself and live life. because I don’t want to hide anymore, it is not worth it. I missed out on life and living and I am not going to anymore.

I am Em Bell and I love who I am. I am the happiest I have been in a very very long time if not ever. I love my people. I love where I am. I love my job. I love my life. My journey hasn’t been easy but it has been worth it to get to where I am.

I got you. I believe in you. And know that you are you for a reason and you have lots to live for.

Don’t Change to make someone else happy. Don’t stop being you.
