My Body Tells me NO

Why are human beings so complicated? Life is meant to be enjoyed and to be lived to its fullest!

My Solution: Be SPONTANEOUS

For example, there is always that one guy/girl that you like but never do anything about. There is always something in your closet that you have been dying to wear but are afraid of what people will say. And there is always something nerdy/dorky/unpopular that you have been wanting to try but are held back because we as humans, over think EVERYTHING! We also allow ourselves to fight that urge we get when we want to try new things. Whether it is new food or a new dance move. GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE!

I have made it my goal to live my life and to live it in a way that makes me happy and has no regrets. I have worn my grandma's grey fringe coat to school and church because she was the very essence of spunk and I want to embrace that. I started wearing gold hippie head bands because I was bored one day and wanted to switch it up. I started giving people hand massages so they would have a chance to be listened to. I speak my mind because I was once told I was a clam that was clamped so tight no one could ever get inside my head. I speak my mind to let people know I have a voice. It is difficult sometimes be an open book. But the stress of not caring what people think is gone. Completely. I have an open heart, let me show you.

To quote someone who is always open and confident:

"I'm comfortable with myself and things I've done. I've built myself a level of confidence where I don't care what people say about me. Because I'm me and nobody can change that"

This is a person who is living what I am trying to accomplish every day of my life. This is also a person I took a chance to get to know. So if you are reading, I hope you don't mind me using your unique perspective. I admire you greatly for it.

Don't let this insecurity get the better of you. Don't be afraid to wear that outfit. Don't be afraid to think out loud. Don't be afraid to tell that person how you feel. They might surprise you. Take chances. Live life. So if you need to forgive, do it and forget. If you feel like dancing, ask someone to dance with you wherever you are. If you need to make that phone call, pick up your phone now. If you need to hug someone, for heaven's sake hug someone and do it right now! Chocolate works too ;)
