The other day my sister came into my room and looked at it and said "there's too many things going on in here." She's always teasing me about the way I decorate my room, saying that I just "find things in the street and stick them on my wall", which is partially true, but that's just the way I chose to do it. Compared to her room, poised, classy, and with a colored theme, mine is kind of all over the place. That kind of made me realize why I like it so much, because it represents me. When I was younger, I used to always want to be as smart as somebody else, as pretty as somebody else, or as talented as somebody else. It took years of growth to actually appreciate everything I'm made of- flaws, bad habits, big hips, good note-taking skills, everything. I did not realize that I should probably stop trying to be like other people, and just embrace things that I like because I will never be somebody else. Society nowadays is always trying to make us into something that we're not. I promise you, there are good and bad things about every person on this planet, all 7 billion of them. If you like something that your friend does not, that's okay. If you like wearing sweatpants and baggy t-shirts (as opposed to your friend who wears 6-inch heels to school), that's okay. If you're feeling down after a bad test grade in Pre-calculus, while your friend is boasting about her 95%, that's okay too. You are somebody that nobody else can ever be, and that's pretty awesome. What's something that you love about yourself? Comment below!
I really love this post. I agree that people spend too much time wondering about how to please society. It's time stop caring about others and start caring about yourself and express who you are. I love that I am who I am...unique and different. (:

I really like what you wrote and I truly appreciate you for doing this. I'm going through this situation as well and I needed help from someone and that person is you. I've asked so many people the same question, but none of them gave me a good response like you did. Jenny, I LOVE this article and I hope you post more and more! Your truly AMAZING and you have inspired me to think more positive thoughts each and everyday. Your blog is touching my heart and took all of the stress away from me. Another thing, I'm a sophomore (10th grade) from Ferris High school and people tell me that I'm stupid and need help in the future, but the truth is that the fire in my soul will burn their thoughts and I will continue to strive for success even though I am a straight A+ student. Please post more advice like for testing and what Junior year is gonna be like. Your sweet, adorable and I thank you for doing this! :)
