Who Told You That You Can’t? F*ck That.
When I was in elementary school, I had a stage where I wanted to become an actress (pun unintended.) I watched a lot of Shirley Temple and really wanted that life.
So…I did what I do best — I tell my idea to the world. Starting with my best friend.
I was *SO* excited to share this news with her.
But when I told her, I didn’t entirely get the outcome that I thought I’d receive..
Instead, she LITERALLY laughed in my face. Followed by an, “yeah, okay!”
I remember feeling *highly* disappointed after that.
And while I’m certainly no famous actress today, nor is that probably my life purpose, it was an experience that had stuck with me to this day.
..and it has come up over the years and into adulthood *planted in the back of my head* while I make life decisions.
Now, granite, we were kids and we all say stupid shit sometimes (adults too,) but the point is this:
Others’ opinion of you or your ability to do anything that you want is irrelevant to your potential and what YOU decide for yourself.
Words are not the final destination. They are merely an opinion/reflection of someone’s perspective on life and themselves. AKA — irrelevant to your life unless you…
