You are made to be no one other than yourself. You are uniquely you. I firmly believe that we were all put on this earth to love each other, to make the most of our time here and to continue to blossom into the image God has set for us.

Honestly, I have a love hate relationship with the idea of living unapologetically. I think there is a fine line between being unapologetically yourself so that you don’t have to change anything and using your strengths to propel you. It's important to know your flaws so that you can continue to grow as a human. It shouldn't be used as an excuse to continue to succumb to your bad habits and negative self talk. I think it what it really means is that we fully accept ourselves just the way we are. That we love ourselves regardless because we continue to show up each day with the intent of growing as an individual that can contribute to the greater good in the world.
