We Only Want 'Our' Approval

It's OK to be Different

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished about a year ago • 1 min read
We are all special in our own way

“It is ok to live a life

others do not understand”

Everyone’s journey in life

is unique to them

and this is why

we should ‘accept’ people

— as they are!

It is up to us individually

to define who we are and how

we want to live our lives.

We live in a world

where ‘society’ expects us to ‘be’

a certain way.

So we need courage to be different,

to be ourselves.

And this is what makes life so ‘colourful’,

the very fact

that each one of us is unique

in our own ways.

When we follow

our own ‘passions’ and ‘dreams’,

our lives become more authentic and fulfilling.

Others may not understand ‘our way of living’,

even as we may not understand theirs.

But as long as we all ‘accept’ each other,

there will be more peace and unity in this world.

We want to have control of our lives

and live our lives for “us”.

The only ‘approval’ we want

is our own.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
