“Survival of the fittest”, or in school: “Survival of the trendiest”. I’m in ninth grade and personally , I’ve been always struggling to make friends. Since kindergarten I was “the outcast”. I do have really nice friends right now tho! In first grade I met this girl that is still my number one best friend. But still, I was never the most liked or the most popular person. Not many people wanna talk to me. But why? Is it because I’m weird? Because I listen to different music than the people my age? Because I have a different style? Because I have different hobbies? “I was born as a leader, not a follower” is something I always thought. It’s something my family always told me. “Your name means Winner in english” (Victoria=Victory), but I never really felt like I ever won anything. I tried being a leader, nobody wanted to be friends with me. I tried being a follower, nothing changed. Just recently I realized that I was born to be my own person. My own leader and my own follower. I wasn’t born to be “the trendiest” or the one with the most friends. I was born to be myself. I was born to inspire people. I was born to create instead of copy. Realizing that really changed my perspective on life. I don’t have to fit in. It’s okay to be alone sometimes. I like the things I do. I love my music taste. I really like my hobbies. I find my style really cool and I love to be myself. There are no rules in living. You don’t have to be the most popular one if this isn’t the real you. Be who you are. It’s okay to be a leader. It’s also not always bad to be a follower and it’s definitely not bad to just be your own person. This is your life. Your life, your rules. Your body, your rules.
I wrote this article to inspire you to be yourself. I know it can be hard at first, but believe me when I tell you life gets so much better when you start doing what you want. the right people are gonna be more interested in you and you can meet new people, make new friends if you want to. There are people out there who want a friend just like you, so by being yourself you can attract those people. I really hope this helped you.
Xoxo
