We Only Want 'Our' Approval
It's OK to be Different
“It is ok to live a life
others do not understand”
Everyone’s journey in life
is unique to them
and this is why
we should ‘accept’ people
— as they are!
It is up to us individually
to define who we are and how
we want to live our lives.
We live in a world
where ‘society’ expects us to ‘be’
a certain way.
So we need courage to be different,
to be ourselves.
And this is what makes life so ‘colourful’,
the very fact
that each one of us is unique
in our own ways.
When we follow
our own ‘passions’ and ‘dreams’,
our lives become more authentic and fulfilling.
Others may not understand ‘our way of living’,
even as we may not understand theirs.
But as long as we all ‘accept’ each other,
there will be more peace and unity in this world.
We want to have control of our lives
and live our lives for “us”.
The only ‘approval’ we want
is our own.
LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

Elderly Woman Behind the Table in a Large Town
The glass of Absinthe sat before me. It’s quite amazing how despite such terror rendered upon their stones in the preceding decades, these streets still held the beauty I first read about as a girl. I never dreamed I’d set foot on these cobbles, at least not safely.

Very true words. We must accept ourselves
Refreshing; I wish acceptance could be naturally simplistic. Thank you for adding some optimism to my day!
