They Are Not You

Four words. Four very simple words that hold so much depth and meaning and understanding and interpretation.

It is easy for us to walk the side walks to our streets and think I am just like everyone else. And yes sometimes the ones closes to us make us believe the same exact thing. Never giving us the opportunity to feel different or unique or special. And when we do take that step outside of our little comfort box we sometimes get thrown down, and then thrown down again and then again. It is impossible at some points to feel anything but exactly like everyone else.

This picture imitates the idea that we can be whoever we want to be and that if those around us can't hack it to toss them aside and find someone who will think of you in the context of those four very simple words.

When you find that person, whether they are a friend, a loved one, a lover, a teacher, a coworker...whoever they are embrace them and thank them.

Because they have reminded you and assured you that you are different and unique and special.

My advice: They are not you. So don't make them be you.

Sincerely,
Nina <3
