Firework

     This post is going to be solely about embracing yourself. Since I was a small child, I have been bullied. Society today is negatively biased towards those of us who are different and rebel against the norm. I am one of those rebels and always will be. I believe in originality, for I think it gets people far in life. I like to see things with an open mind.
     As I have grown up, I have realized that you must rise against the negativity in your life. Katy Perry taught me that with her song Firework. When I first heard it, I thought that it was quite a waste of my time, but when I read the lyrics, I realized the song had an actual meaning. In order to overcome your fears and insecurities, you have to let your colors burst and show everyone what you're worth.
     You may be surprised by how they react to you. When I showed my true colors and realized that I am actually a cool person, I made friends who thought the same. Trust me, before anyone else can like you, you have got to like yourself. That is the first step. If you are different from everyone else, embrace it. No one is the same, and no one is perfect.
