Different

"Weird"
It's a saying that goes around
A saying that's supposed to fill the air when you feel empty.
"Weird"
Is that really what you feel?
Or are you just saying that because you aren't happy with yourself.
"Weird" 
Or do you feel like that because of something that happened, something that wasn't your fault.
Something that you couldn't control...
"Weird" 
"Werid"
"Weird"
Saying to over and over again helps right? 
WRONG.
It doesn't do anything.
All it does is slightly fill the air enough where it doesn't sting you as bad.
Or so you think.
"Weird"
"WEIRD"
"WEIRD"
Now that's what you think of yourself, because of what OTHER people said to you.
Cause in life YOUR opinion doesn't matter...Does it?
WRONG.

Your opinion about yourself is the MOST important.
YOUR opinion about yourself matters, more then anyone else's.
So be you! Whether you are dorky, funny, kind, or anything.
Don't listen to the people who say mean things about you. 
If someone says something to you and it stings afterwards, that means it's hurting you heart.
You want to keep your heart healthy. 
Right?

    Love this! Be you! Beautiful message and being different is what makes you so amazing

    Thank you! I didn't know if I should post it because I felt like the wording was a little off, so it means a lot! <3
