Merry Sunday

Don't be that person..
..who aligns their opinions with those surrounding them.
..who is afraid to be bold.
..who allows others to dictate who they feel they need to be.
..who believes happiness has a price.
..who doesn't eat sugar.
..who takes 93 minutes to get ready.
..who needs to wash their hair EVERYDAY.
..who believes success is a single-person effort.
..who refuses to laugh at his/herself.
..who rolls their eyes at this post.



BE that person..
..who has something to believe in.
..who is not scared of what other people think.
..who has goals and dreams; ambitions and hopes.
..who recognizes that happiness is a choice.
..who has self-control to enjoy things in moderation.
..who is confident with who they are.
..who understands that no one cares how shiny your hair is.
..who realizes no one can do this alone.
..who accepts they are not perfect; and that it is perfectly acceptable.
..who smiles and thinks to his/herself: "ah..I AM that person".

Happy Sabbath <3

BEST POST OF THE YEAR! Loved it Natalie- thanks so much for writing this- I couldn't agree more!!! It encompassed all the things I've been thinking but too afraid to type..
How important it is to LOVE yourself and not rely on the approval of others to buoy you up. You are one amazing girl with wisdom beyond your years. I'm serious when i say this: lunch, dinner, cupcakes. ANYTHING is an absolute must. If you name the date and place, I'll be there no if ands or butts. Seriously! Let's bring Alexa... I love you girls!
