friends. the real you

You know when you are so low in life and you don’t even want to go out or talk to people. But the good people in your life, true friends make it okay to face the world and have fun. They help you to forget about the shit going on in your world and focus on the now. But then you are too scared to leave them because you have to face everything again. But in that moment, you can’t imagine doing life without them.

 Well, I have a few people in my life like this and it is a good hand full of people. I need them more than they know and especially more than I know. And we are all going through our own shit and we still get to together have a chat and laugh, hang and just be us. Be real. Be Honest. Be Kind. Be Love. We Be Us. And we keeping encouraging each other and we let each other be real and there’s no judgement. Because we all need people like this in our lives. I lived for years not being myself and not showing who I truly am. And Yes, people liked me, but I did not. Until one day I realised and turn my life around and thought why be someone you are not, be unhappy, be fake, hated life. And then you figured it out. Life was good, life is better being you. Life is hard why make it harder and trying to keep up the appearance of someone you are not, is so much harder than being you. While realising this and begin to be the real you, we start to see our true friends and life looked a whole lot better. And to be honest I wish I figured that out sooner. I love who I am. And I love the people in my life and can’t thank them enough. Some days life is beyond our control or reach. Life is hard enough already, why make it harder for ourselves and be someone we are not.

So, I am here to tell you. Stop being someone you are not. Stop hiding. Stop be fake. My darling you are You for a reason and you are the best kind of you. I know it is hard darling, believe me. I have been there and I still struggle some days. But life is so much easier to be YOU. Life is so much easier to be real. It is going to be okay, it will be hard, it will hurt, you will see things differently and people may walk away. But people may stay and come into your life and you may need them more than anyone before.

I love me now more than ever and I am not going back to being someone I am not. Life is worth living and being you. And yes, I have things to work on, but it will make me better and stronger.

Don’t be scared to change. Actually, don’t be scared to find the real you and be you.
