Acceptance

Hi!

I hope you all are well. As I discover things about myself; I share them with the belief that they will help someone else.

Recently on my journey, I’ve been thrown a few curve balls. While trying to vent to a close relative; I found myself upset because she didn’t seem to understand or accept what I was saying as the truth. In a sense, I guess, I felt that she was ‘taking the other person’s side’.

And then I realized that I had an issue with wanting to be accepted as well as understood. I believe it comes from feeling / being rejected in my younger years. I’ve always been a bit different. People called me weird and I really wanted to just be like everyone else.

But that’s no good.

And let me tell you why: I wasn’t created to be like everyone else. No one was. It’s plain and simple. Everyone is unique and has their own personality, perspective, and purpose. Some people may be similar to you in some ways, but the way they view things may be different. They may have different thoughts based on different experiences.

One person’s perspective does not nullify or devalue another’s. Everyone has something valuable to do, say and be. And my purpose is to speak my truth. To present my ideas, thoughts and experiences to the world and allow the people that need to hear my message to find it.

Nothing more, nothing less.

It is not my purpose or my right to try and make a person see things my way. It is not rejection. It is only a viewpoint based on that unique individual.

I learned that a person’s acceptance; or lack thereof is actually quite alright. It does not make my opinion, my feelings, or my perspective invalid.

A person must know themselves and trust themselves enough to stand firm in their convictions regardless of the opinions of others.

You are you. And you must do things in life that only you can.

Acceptance not necessary.

Until next time beautiful souls- be blessed, much love. And remember: you are the dopeness that this world needs!

Love and Light- Mimi 💜✨
