So What?

I’m me, you’re you

I am short and have a chubby stomach that doesn’t fit society’s narrow standards. So what?

I often stumble over my words, feeling inadequate in conversations. So what?

I’ve made mistakes in the past, letting down myself and those I care about. So what?

I don’t have a glamorous job or a fancy title to boast about. So what?

Sometimes I feel lost, unsure of where I’m heading or what I truly want. So what?

I have fears and insecurities that gnaw at me when I least expect it. So what?

I’m not the smartest or the most talented person in the room. So what?

I am overly emotional and cry at the drop of a hat. So what?

My dreams seem too big and distant, almost impossible to reach. So what?

I struggle with anxiety and self-doubt, wondering if I’ll ever be “enough.” So what?

I’ve been knocked down by life’s challenges more times than I can count. So what?

Despite it all, I’m still standing here, breathing, living, and learning. I may not have it all figured out, but I’m on a journey of self-discovery and growth.

I refuse to let society’s expectations define my worth or dictate my happiness.
