Hello loves!๐Ÿ’œ
Happy Monday!
I hope you are all doing well and feeling excited to start the new week!๐ŸŒž

Today's post is all about the power of being different, as I believe it's a goal worth striving for!
I've never been one prone to compare myself to other individuals, and I think that most of the times, the ones who engage in it, compare themselves to their own disadvantage.
As I always say, the only person you should compare yourself with, is the one you were yesterday.
We are all living our own life, doing things according to our own timelines.

And besides, we're all different, and everyone has different goals and interests, and so we should not try to impose our personal views on others.
As an example, I've always known that I never wanted to have kids in my life.
That is probably the only thing that is so set in stone that I know it will not change with years.
But I mean, that's my personal thing.
Somebody else could never picture themselves living without building a family, and that's completely fine too!
We are not meant to be all the same and live life the same way as everyone else does!

I've been following a girl on youtube for quite a while know, and she's a woman in her early thirties who lives in her car in the U.S because she loves traveling so much.
And to be honest with you, I look up at her bravery so much!
She's inspiring in many ways, and it's funny because she knows that this lifestyle is clearly not for everyone, and she often states it in her videos, which I think is awesome because she encourages others to embrace their own lifestyle.

I've seen people who quit their job, sold everything they had, and went to travel the world.
Others who decided to pursue a career that did not necessarily equate financial stability, but decided to follow their passion anyway.
Some who decided to leave their homebase to go live on an island somewhere in the world, to live on the beach and get a little job abroad.
Parents who homeschooled their kids until the end of high school.

And that's what makes the world such an amazing place!
The fact that we're all the same, but so different at the same time.
There is no such thing as one size fits all!
We are all born to do our own thing.

From a very young age, I have always been an introvert.
While I do believe that I developed great people skills with the years, I much rather spend the majority of my time alone.
I personally love to be alone at home and do my own thing.
I'm not the kind to get bored, I deeply enjoy every minute of my solitude.
You could throw me in a forest for a full day, and I wouldn't want to come back home!๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฒ
And that is something that has always been a part of me.
However, when I speak with different people, friends or acquaintances, for some of them, being alone at home is boring or simply is not particularly desirable, as they constantly like to be busy or surrounded by people.
And that's totally cool!
We need to embrace who we are, validate and celebrate our differences!
If we were all the same, life wouldn't be exciting at all.

Ps: Stay true to you, and don't worry what other people say about your choices and the way you choose to live your life.
The purpose of life is to find a life of purpose, and once you've find it, work at it every single day until the end.๐Ÿ’Ÿ
Don't worry too much if people don't like you...
Truth is, most people find it hard to like their own person.๐Ÿ˜
