today my mom asked me why i cant just be normal?
and i realized how i really am odd
but isnt everyone?
i mean who gets to decide whats normal and whats not?
who gets the job of judging everyone?
i'd like to meet this person.
you cant put a definition on someone elses character.
or is character and personality even what we get judged on?
cause everyone is unique in their own way.
were like snowflakes, no two people are exactly the same.
thats what makes the world interesting.
so by being myself i am being normal, just like everyone else who is themselves.
truthfully there is no "NORMAL" there is only you.
by being ourselves we bring color to a world of black and white.
life is to short to try to live up to someone else's definition of cool or normal.
just be yourself and live YOUR life the way YOU want, and love it.

when i was little...like 4th grade....i would come home complaining about how the other kids were so stupid, and how i hated everyone.
my mom sat me down and had a talk with me.
she told me that everyone is different.
she said

"Not everyone can be Taylors can they?"

she explained how everyone has their own way of looking at things and expressing themselves.
just because i was brought up and taught one way doesnt mean thats what everyone else knew.
i shouldnt pass judgement on anyone else cause i dont know what they have to deal with or how they deal with it.
my mom told me that i would have to accept others for who they are and not hate them because they arent like me.
she made sure i understood that no one else could be me. and that being me was special...like i didnt already know that pftt.....but that everyone else was special just like i am only in different ways.
and just because someone wasnt like me didnt mean i had the right to be mean to them or hate them. i still had to be decent toward them no matter what. cause thats what good people do.
they encourage indiviuality. they express themself and dont try to hold others back.
liking someone and being nice to someone are two completely separate things.

so now i am passing on this to you.

be yourself and dont change for anyone. you are who you are and no one should be able to change that. LOVE YOURSELF.
dont expect everyone to be like you, cause they will let you down. everyone is an individual. no one is the same. no matter how much you want them to be. remember a world of you would be boring. dont judge others. live your life, and let others live theirs. and those who you find yourself living your life with, you call them your friends. and dont let those people out of your life, because they may be the only people in the world who you can be 100% yourself around.
