Learn to use your voice again. The person you used to be is still in there! 

And I say re-introduce, re-discover, re-whatever because you just have to return to your authentic self. You see we are taught by society, parents, friends, etc. that we need to fit in. The sad thing is most of us come to this world as shiny stars only to be turned into a typical side walk stone. Fitting in has always been the thing to do... but why? 

Why not celebrate our differences and learn to capitalize on our natural talents and abilities? Why conform to what is deemed normal and boring? Why back down and allow people to mistreat you? Why *3! And to that I say GTFOH!  The days of depression and quiet submission are over! The days of running from your fears are over! Despite what you may have been told we all know that at some point we all have to stop running... whether by choice or from life handing us a double size can of whoop A**. At some point we all have to stop running and face the music. Stop running from yourself and stand firm! You can do it! ANDDD you don't have to do it alone. Learn from my many many mistakes and get a head start on healing!
