Today, I walked past the popular girls. Normally, I think, Why aren’t they talking to me? What’s that difference between them and me? I want to be INCLUDED! But today, I just didn’t care. There is such a difference. I realized I didn’t want to be included with them. Those girls are not as good as my friends. They will never be my friends. And, I’m okay with that. If fact, that is exactly what I want. I don’t need to change myself to fit in. I have my own place, my own life. Those girls have no power unless I give it to them. Now when I look at the lunchroom and at my table, I see different groups. I don’t see the A table, the B table, the C table. I look at people and I don’t give them labels. Today was monumental in my journey of growing stronger. The next step is to not care what people I don’t like or know, think of me. I should define me, not my peers. This is awesome. Right now I am brimming with unheard advice, so if you have any problems or questions, tell me in the comments!
