These words have echoed in my mind now for weeks since I’ve attended a woman’s conference. I took a look back on my childhood, I grew up with a supportive, loving home and would say I had a good childhood. I remember being friendly, going up to people (with my parents supervision) saying hi, complimenting them and sometimes even asking them if they need prayer for anything! I felt innocent and so full of life. I went to a private school up until grade 7. I had truly awesome teachers up until then and great friends. I thought I had some best friends and didn’t realize that they weren’t really treating me that great. Changes were happening. It was grade 6/7 when girls were starting to experiment with make-up and wearing big girl bras. I didn’t feel like I was ready for that stage and because of that, because I was different, they started to distance themselves from me and make fun of me. In that moment I had forgotten who I was and ever since then it has taken me years to discover who I am. When I heard this quote it really got me thinking. As a young girl I felt fearless, friendly, loving, caring, and full of joy! I believe that is who I still am today, it has been hidden for all these years.
Who were you before the world told you who you should be?
Love this quote! It’s really thought provoking, and very true, especially for girls and women!
