Finding Your Inner Unicorn

Your inner unicorn is the part of you that doesn’t repress itself in order to fit in or appease others. Your inner unicorn is who you become when you unapologetically embrace your authentic self.

In high school, I had a t-shirt that said, “doesn’t it feel great to be yourself instead of someone else?” and that phrase has always stuck with me. That’s really what it all comes down to: being yourself.

Stop worrying about what others think and do what makes you happy. As long as you aren’t hurting anyone, live your life according to your own standards. Your life is yours and no one else’s!

Wear what you want to wear. Eat what you want to eat. Love who you want to love. Be who you were meant to be. And if someone else tries to criticize you for it, you can frolic away from that nonsense.

I know it can be terrifying to show yourself to the world. It takes real vulnerability and the world isn’t always kind. I remember being picked on when I was in school. I remember feeling like I had to hide who I was in order to survive. So, I get it if you don’t feel safe. Sometimes we don’t have the luxury of expressing our true selves. If this is where you’re at, know you can always reach out to me. I promise that you can always be your true self around me.

If there’s anything to take away from this post, it’s this: you are a unique, magnificent, magical being! There is no one else in the world like you. You have distinct qualities, characteristics, and interests that are waiting to be expressed. There are people who are inspired by your very existence and their faces light up when they think of you. Go forth into the world and spread your magic!
