Rebranding Yourself

Coming from someone who has followed behind others her entire life, I think it's safe to say a rebrand is very much so needed. Yes I said it, I followed behind others like no other. If it was a girl I saw getting all the attention I was doing everything she was doing. I grew up feeling like I didn't fit in, and like something was wrong with me. I felt the need to change things about myself in order to fit in, but trust me that only made things worse. I believed that I needed to do these things in order to fit in only to find out that it was just the opposite. I only needed to be me, and be okay with being myself.

"I only needed to be me, and be okay with being myself ."

I'll always be who I am at my core, but if I'm constantly trying to live up to the image, characteristics, and qualities of someone else I'll dismiss being myself. All those things that make me unique will be overshadowed. People won't know or even experience the real me, because I was too busy pretending to be someone else. In order to rebrand yourself you need to peel back the many layers of those false narratives so that you can get back to who you truly are.
