5 years ago, I moved to a new state. I was 15 and it felt like the end of the world. I knew no one and no one knew me. kinda made me question my entire existence. After a lot of time alone, I realized that a lot of the things in my little world that seemed like a big deal, really didn’t matter. they mattered so little, it’s mind boggling. things like what other people think for example. I mean that’s a hard one to get over but it really is well...to put it simply: stupid. no one really cares enough to notice your flaws in the way you do. needing that constant validation from others. if it’s about your outfit, or if they post a pic of you on their snapchat for your birthday. or if you were invited to a hangout that you didn’t even care to go to. or even so little as getting acknowledged for the fact that you exist. that validation is the kind that we all want. but are never satisfied by. that’s the kind of validation I wasn’t getting and finally realized I no longer needed/ wanted. the only validation that truly truly worked was the validation that came from me. and just from me. I began to do what I wanted. simply just because I wanted to. and with that being the only reason makes it valid af. I did so much of what I wanted that I did some pretty cool shit. just because I wanted to. doing that day after day, I began to see that I was genuinely cool. The things I do are cool. the things I like are cool. I would tell myself like damn. that’s cool. I began to believe it. speak it till you see it type of shit. One day, after getting home from school, going straight to the gym, then walking my dog, going on a run, making a meal, and posting a home workout for all of my social media to see, I looked at myself in the mirror and said “you’re dope as fuck” and that was it. that little quote I told myself was as catchy as the god damn state farm jingle. I began to tell it to myself every time I felt it. and even when I didn’t feel it. especially then. I said it so much that I truly believed it. I began to live it. so much to the point where I would prove to myself that it is in fact true. and it still, is in fact true. and that’s what stuck.
“you’re dope as fuck”
