“You’re too..”

 

You’re too skinny

 

You’re too fat 

 

You’re too smart 

 

You’re too slow

 

You’re too shy

 

You’re too social

 

You flirt too much 

 

You don’t flirt enough

 

You lift too much

 

You don’t lift enough

 

You wear too little makeup 

 

You wear too much makeup

 

My personal favorite “you’re too independent” 

 

Is there even such a thing?

 

Perhaps, I missed the birth of it. 

 

I’m almost positive at some point in life, you’ve been told one of these “you’re too this or that…”

 

Many of us are guilty of letting these opinions dictate our lives (myself included); that we begin to judge ourselves oh so harshly. In actuality, there is no need to because 

a.) opinions are not truths and b.) most people’s opinions are based on how they perceive themselves.

 

My suggestion – surround yourselves with people who like YOU for who YOU are and will celebrate YOU for who YOU are. Because, who YOU are, is an original masterpiece. 

 

If the people around you do not embody such qualities. Please…PLEASE  find a new tribe.
