The world will try to convince you that you’re too different, too broken, too quiet, too loud, too scarred, or simply not enough. Don’t believe it.

You weren’t created to spend your life wishing you were somebody else.

Your scars are part of your story. Your failures taught you. Your pain changed you. Your battles strengthened you. And everything you survived helped build the person standing here today.

So stop shrinking yourself to make other people comfortable.

Stand tall. Own your story. Be proud of the person God created you to be.

There is only one you.

Never be ashamed of that.
