Fitting in isn’t always what it seems…

Why is it that we have always been made to believe that we need to fit in? Whether we have to fit into a group, a sport team, a home, an environment, and everywhere else, we are taught the need to fit in. How did it take this long to figure our that it is ok to not fit in because maybe we are all individually born to stand out?! That saying, “don’t ever let anyone dull your sparkle”, has so many meanings behind it. Today, I look at this meaning as, it is ok to just be you! It is ok to be different. If you can’t find where you fit in today, you can find it another day, and that is OK! Be the one to recognize that it is OK to stand out, that you are beautiful the way you are, to circle yourself with those who appreciate and accept you just for you. Don’t fit in? Just keep on sparkling!
