In the past year, I have experienced a great deal of new changes; many of which include transitioning from school to university, separating from long-term friendships and tackling emotions from all types of every-day situations. I let them all weaken my self-esteem, self-worth and I was beginning to care less about myself and more what other's perceived me as. All this came to a head the past few weeks and it is only the last few days that I have decided that I no longer want to feel the way I do. Confidence and strength to move on and forget the past  is such a empowering strength that I long to maintain. I am so grateful for having such great people in my life that keep me positive and grounded. Manipulative and bad influences will try and creep up on you but you have the choice (only you) to the extent of which it controls you. Actions speak louder than words. This is a fact. A person can tell you how much they mean to you but if they don't make effort to show you why, than the words they say are meaningless. 

Obviously, I won't be going into great depth of my experiences but to summarise my point. Stand your ground and never brush away something said to you, you know deep down is wrong or offensive towards you. The amazing thing about being YOU is that you create your own future, happiness and resilience. Don't settle for less than you deserve because you know you deserve the BEST! I want you all to know that you all are so very special. There's no one like you. You are 100% Unique. I hope this not so little post inspired you beautiful people to believe in yourself!
