This is me, keeping it real in my $9 Walmart sweater top, my $18 amazon jeans, my $10 Claires backpack and my Shopkins cup. I had Josh take this picture of me on our way out yesterday because I have once again come to the realization that we tried way too hard to fit in before.
Someone had complimented me on my top and I mentioned how it had triggered almost fear because it was from Walmart. I have heard so many over the years make fun of Walmart and I am proud to say I have loved their clothes lately and I am not ashamed, but it did trigger that fear of judgement based on the past. We would spend so much money in high school on brand name clothes and still never fit in. What was the dang point? So we wouldn't get made fun of? So the people who judged others by the brand of clothes others wore would like us? Do people really look at others clothing tags to see what brand they are wearing? Why would we even want to be friends with people that judged others that way?
Because deep down NO one wants to be rejected. We all want to be accepted. But people who accept others only if this or that aren't really accepting you for you. Seriously don't waste your time trying to change for anyone who does this. They have their own crap to work on. Be you. I wish so badly I had known that growing up. I would have saved so much money, time, energy and tears from being affected by what others thought of me, if only I had realized then it didn't matter what they thought. Start accepting yourself now, not waiting for others to accept you. People who love you for you will accept you and your unique self.
FYI I seriously bought every color of this Walmart top they had because I love it so much
