Or, a more popular comment, especially amongst young people, is the notion of turning uppp and all the way up and if you aren't drinking, partying, and being what society deems as cool, you are just weird. I know for a fact at least ONE of my readers can relate to this. Now on my part, I just need to learn not to get offended so damn easily, and that my friends, with all things in this life, comes with time and I will get there. However, I have learned something positive from these encounters, and that is that you live your life the way you want to live it. If you feel like turning all the way up, turn up, but don't judge someone else for not having the same experiences that you have had. For me right now, I'm focused on becoming a better writer, building confidence and resiliency, discovering my God given purpose, and just being an all around kick ass person. We are all here to live our individual lives and enjoy happiness, success, and all the other goodies that come along with this life. However, as you will realize as time goes on, someone will always have something to say to you, whether it be positive or negative, but remember that you don't have to take in what everyone says to you, as in to become an external mold, built from the opinions of others. This is why it is often a struggle to find ourselves in life, because there are so many damn expectations of who and what we should be. But, the only person you were created to be, is yourself. I am still learning that myself, and cannot wait for the day where I can fully and confidently stand in my truth, whatever that is. As Eleanor Roosevelt put it best, "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." So, do you and do what makes you happy. :)
