Why do important things go unnoticed? We’ve learned to notice important things so why was I in the shadows behind the rest. Was I not important? Too busy trying to impress the rest I disappeared. Vanished. I was gone. I tried too hard to fit in with the rest I blended in. My whole life was a series of me trying to become someone I was not, from my shoes, to my clothes, to my hair, to my personality. All to impress others, to get them to notice me. I’ve lost so much time and sleep worrying about what the world thought of me. Changing myself. But all my work to become noticed, became unnoticed. I was unhappy. I just wanted to be noticed. 

As time passed by, I learned that all I needed was to be myself. My own person. Who cares if she didn’t like me or he didn’t like what I was wearing. They noticed me. But most importantly, I noticed me. I noticed my potential, my confidence, my happiness. I’ve created my own consciousness. I didn’t care about the world around me. I focused on myself and now I have the confidence and happiness that I desire. Because I let go of others’ opinions I was able to let free, be unique and make unbreakable bonds with people that don’t care about how I look, they care about me for me. 

To everyone out in the world reading this, don’t ever feel like you are not good enough. You are worth more than gold. Who cares about some person’s unworthy opinion? What matters is that you are happy with yourself and that you feel comfortable doing what you’re doing. You are an amazing soul. So, the next time someone says something mean or hurtful, walk away knowing that their opinion doesn’t matter, walk away knowing that you are amazing, beautiful, confident. Walk away knowing that they will never have self-love like you do. Don’t change yourself for others, if you want to change, it should be for yourself. Don’t let others get the credit for what you did. You deserve everything and you are worth it.
