Dare To Be Different
Hey fam 👋!!! I know it's been a while. I'm back 💜!!! When we look around in our world, we see diversity. When we look at our families, jobs, churches, and communities, we see diversity. We all have different personalities, styles, backgrounds and interests. Seeing the diversity makes me happy 😊! You see, while we do have common interests, we still have something that makes us unique. For a long time in my life, I did not want to stand out. I was afraid of being different and worried about what people thought of me. I did stand out because I got good grades, wore my hair different and dressed different than a lot of girls my age did. I was not in the popular crowd, but I definitely had my supportive circle of friends. Kids and adults made fun of me and my immediate family growing up on the bus, at school and even at church. I would get so upset, overwhelmed, bent out of shape and mad because of what was said. I couldn't understand why they were doing it. Side note: that...
