You do You

Permission to be unapologetically you

They say, be yourself, everyone else is already taken.
And really, as Oscar Wilde put it, who else is there to be?

No one else can carry your truth,
live your joy,
or feel your fire.

So,
Keep going.
Keep saying what you want to say,
how you want to say it
Do what makes you happy,
Own your preferences…
even the ones they call “unconventional.”

Because —
why live a conventional life
when you can be epic?

Why limit yourself
when there’s joy and liberation beyond the clouds?
Hello, Cloud 9.

Some people frown not because you’re wrong,
but because you’re different.
Because you dare
Perhaps
because your courage makes them uncomfortable.
Because they’ve traded dreams for boxes and labels.
