If you're anything like me in secondary school, you spend so much time trying to get people to like you that you almost forget to like yourself.
You buy clothes that you think are fashionable because other people say so, even if they don't quite look right on you or don't suit you. You don't raise your hand when you have the answers because you don't want people to think you're a know-it-all. You end up going along with things that may not be your cup of tea but you can't miss out on the fun. You try to remain diplomatic in every situation because you'd hate for anyone to have an issue with you. In truth, it's impossible to be liked by everyone, no matter how hard you try. Being invisible doesn't hide you away from the judging comments and looks and sometimes, it can even encourage them. I always tried so hard to fit in that I forgot how important it is to stand out. And to be honest, sometimes it can get a little tiring not voicing your opinion. Maybe some people won't like what you have to say and others just won't get it, but I've come to realise the error of my ways. Voice your opinions and do what makes you happy cause at the end of the day, integrity is much better than invisible.
