<center> [source](https://pixabay.com/photos/peas-pod-pea-pod-green-fresh-580333/)</center> Validation is one this we all crave as human and we will never feel better without it. Society has a way of making us feel less of ourselves and when we take notice of that, we live our lives around the need to be validated and will do whatever it takes to get it. Being yourself can be odd because, it will looks really different from the status quo and being different in our type of world can be a pain. Seeing yourself as **blue** when everyone else is **red** can really take the shine off you. ****** **<center>I Feel Blessed!</center>** *** Learning to be comfortable in your own skin is the first step to getting liberated and settled. Do you ever wonder why bullies still exist? Bullies try to make you see the awesomeness in you because they cannot stand it. They are threatened that, there is something in you that they don't have and can never have. To be a man as you are isn't a big deal, what is a big deal is. **"how you are able to sustain your size and shape?"** Can you be you against all odds by never allowing the people who do not have your kind of spirit knock you down? Can you allow the flaws you have become a standard for greatness that even the bullies will aspire to get? Being yourself isn't all sweet, it can be really damning because, no one will get you and even of they do, it will be never be for the good reasons. Being you can be odd and don't mind how you are perceived by the world. Stay long enough being you and if it doesn't change, you can just do one simple thing... **Stop not being you.** ******* **<center>Make the world a better place for someone today!</center>**

Bing odd when you're yourself is a normal phenomenon that must be appreciated. We are simply unique in our creations and there's nothing we can change about that fact!
