Put Yourself Back Out There š

I wanted to be a model when I was a kid...but in 6th grade I was in a terrible car accident. I didnāt lose any of my limbs but I had to have a whole bunch of surgeries which left me with a whole bunch of scars. š
I couldnāt find any girls in the magazines that looked like me so I kinda let my modeling dream go. It wasnāt until college that I entertained the idea again and auditioned for my first fashion show.
Iāll NEVER forget when the casting director looked me dead in my face and told me I wasnāt pretty enough to be a model. š³š I believed her and I quit. Heartbreaking...I know.
Fast forward to today, Iām thinking about ALL the stuff society āconvincedā me I couldnāt do in the past and Itās time to put all those lies to rest. Truth is ā YOU and I can be whatEVER we decide to be. Donāt get caught up in what the world says you have to be, you make these rules. If you want to be a dancer...DANCE. If you want to start your own business...START IT. If you want to follow your dream...FOLLOW IT.
If someone says you canāt...God SAYS you will. TRUST! Make a list of possibilities and keep adding to it.
Put yourself back out there.
