365 project 2. Day 64. B U

   You are so special! I know that sometimes you forget how special you are because you seem not to know how to accept compliments or because when a big challenge comes you think that it's too big for you. Other times you think you are small and insignificant because that's how society or family made you feel your whole life. But, you know what? It's all a nightmare and you can wake up from it whenever you want. What about NOW?  Believe me! You are very, very special and unique. And I'm not just saying it because that's what goes around on the internet. I know because otherwise you wouldn't have been born on this beautiful, amazing planet. 

   It doesn't matter if you're gay or transgender, it doesn't matter how you look like, it doesn't matter if you had a tough childhood or not, or if you had zero friends for the longest time because you never knew how to make friends, if your classmates all had a boyfriend or a girlfriend and you were the only single person in your class. It doesn't matter if you were bullied for being a nerd, for being fat, for being gay or whatever else. Nothing matters if you stop believing them. Just let them speak and close the doors of your mind around them.
   You are special. You are amazing. You have so much potential to help the others grow. But you have to grow first. Believe in yourself. Accept compliments. Laugh more. Go out and explore the world. Be you. B. U. whoever you want to be.

Day 318. Bits and pieces

   We aren't completely our own. They have bits and pieces of us: our friends on Facebook, our best friends, our boyfriend, our parents and our siblings, that cute girl we want to be like, our co-workers or maybe even our neighbors. 

   Even if we believe that we are all unique human beings, we are actually very much alike and the ones around us influence our life in ways we don't even acknowledge. Think about it. Every step of the way we compare ourselves to them. And it's a natural process our brain got used to. 

   We take decisions that virtually involve people around us. Even if we don't consciously know it. We just do it. Every. Single. Day. The question is... do you follow your OWN dreams in all this process or do you live THEIR life and follow THEIR dreams because you're too afraid you're going to be judged? 

   Now you know. They have bits and pieces of you. Mostly because you allow it. And you'll allow it for the rest of your life without knowing. But will you give yourself completely to them or will you save some for yourself as well?:) Food for thought:)

Day 132. If it's winter

   ...then we should see some snowflakes around... if not outside at least indoors:) The kids and I had a great time today making snowflakes. As we were folding the paper they were eagerly waiting to see the result and after the snowflakes were done they were amazed by the variety of the shapes. I then told them a little story about people being like snowflakes: simmilar but unique, special and important. That's why we should appreciate one another, love one another and stop judging the others for how they look. Beauty comes from within and that's what we should focus on:)
