That One Friend

2025/1/23 Edited to

... Read moreIn today's society, there often exists a pressure to conform to norms that can feel stifling and mundane. Embracing individuality allows people to express their true selves and find joy in their quirks. Being 'weird' or different is not a flaw; rather, it's a unique asset that can lead to personal fulfillment and creativity. Many people have found empowerment in celebrating what makes them unique, often sharing their stories online and finding communities that value authenticity. This shift towards acceptance of differences is crucial, as it fosters an environment where everyone can thrive. Through hashtags like #daretobedifferent and #differentnotless, individuals are sharing their experiences and encouraging others to join the journey of self-acceptance. This movement signifies a growing acknowledgment that normal is not always synonymous with ideal. Let’s celebrate our weirdness and inspire others to do the same, because life is too short to be anything but true to yourself.

I recently realised that I‘m a toxic friend
I came to the realisation that all my friendships have been one sided throughout my life. I've been lucky enough to have people around me that have given me second chances time and time again but its time to hold my self accountable and take responsibility for the shitty way i treat people.
