Let Them Haters Roll

Hello lovlies!

It has been a long time since I last blogged.  I apologize for the lag in my activity and promise to pick up the pace.  

First off, I would like to tell you some great news before heading off into my topic of the day.  I was asked by Wate Chicks to submit my modeling portfolio and I am super excited!!!  Hopefully this will lead to wonderful things, and if not, at lease give me a foot in the door of where I want to go,.

As for today's topic, I would like to address something that I've had to deal with a fair amount recently, and that is hate.  People hating on you, your look, your life and just haters in general.  In all honesty, haters are people who make fun of unique individuals because they are insecure and feel better about themselves when they are putting someone else down,.  Unfortunately this is hard to discern and understand when you are getting mocked and ridiculed form choices that are really no one else's business.

As you may already guess, when I go out in public dressed the way that I do I am subject to both positive and negative reactions to what people consider a life choice.  One the positive side I've had little girls ask me if I'm a fairy or a princess and met people who appreciate the fact that I'm willing to be who I want no matter the social boundaries I am breaking.  However, there are also those who have yelled profanities at me, one store owner who asked me to leave because I was shop lifting because, "I looked the type," and I've heard, "It isn't Halloween!" enough to last me a life time.

In all honesty, it took me longer than I'd like to admit before I started letting the bad things roll off my back.  It's difficult to be an original person when you're surrounded by people whop desperately want you to conform to their idea of what normal is.  But truthfully, normal is purely dependent on the eye of the beholder.  Just because I like to don wigs and wear alternative clothing doesn't mean I go out of my way to make fun of the hundreds of kids who think they're so unique by shopping at Hollister.  That's their identity and it isn't my place to challenge it, or ridicule their choice of dress.  If having Hollister plastered across your chest makes you walk a little taller, then go for it.  It doesn't matter who you wear, or what you were, but how you wear it.  And that's with confidence.

I don't leave the house intending on pleasing others.  What matters is that I look in the mirror and like what I see.  I am proud of who I am, with and without the wigs.  The wigs just make it really fun.  XD  But what matters when it comes to haters is realizing that they have nothing better to do than to pick on someone who intimidates them.  You represent their insecurities and let that help you walk a little taller.  No one should be allowed to judge you for any reason.  You are you and that's what matters; that you love yourself.  It doesn't matter what anyone else says and if you find people in your circle questioning your individuality take a step back and decide if you think they're accepting you.

You are your first priority.  "People will stare; make it worth their while." 

Be true to you!  <3 <3 <3
