{Just my thoughts. Cringe in itself.}
Don’t be afraid to be cringe. Don’t be afraid to like what you like. We have grown into a world where the media you consume shapes you. So who cares that in 2016 I was watching Game Grumps, belting Todrick Hall, and living the the original broadway cast of Hamilton. I learned so much from them because you learn so much from everything. These people had a hand in my conceptualization of what I knew to be possible.
So, like what you like! Consume what you consume. Let yourself pass through phases and understand that these things do not define you, but guide you to where you dream of going. Dress the way you feel drawn to. Obsess over whatever is calling to you. Nothing is forever.
Be yourself authentically through every stage and moment you go through. Hold yourself accountable. Don’t be afraid to move on and let go of what no longer fits. Change and grow. Shapeshift into a person you never thought you could be.
And be embarrassed! Be frustrated! Just stay true to who you were, are, and will be.
With love,
Ara
