Thank you for this post! I’m definitely going to sit down and journal about those questions you have written. I’m almost 25 and started a blog a year and a half ago, and I’m still in the “embarrassed about it” phase. I’ve enjoyed following your story because you seem so comfortable with the choices you have made and the life you have built. I hope to get there some day!

Just copy and pasted that whole “Remind Yourself” into my notes. This might be my favorite post. I love everything about your blog and all the positivity you share xoxo

I think this is so true! To some degree and up until a certain point in our lives we do care what other people think because we’re ultimately afraid. If your brave enough and lucky enough, you can let go of that and learn that you are much happier and more successful being true to yourself.

This post stood out to me! I’m only 21 and struggle with this every single day. For me, most of it is self-image, but when I take the time to ask why I hate my body it always goes back to the thought that others will think I look bad, fat, ugly, etc.. not caring definitely is a process and take practice within your self. I catch my self a lot and try to remind myself that I’m just me and that my body is the most important part of me.

Thank you for this post! I’m 21 and i’m Just now starting to get over the whole not caring what anyone thinks about me.. it’s still so hard and I still feel myself holding back a lot of the time. I started my blog 4 years ago and I was always so scared to tell people incase they judged me but now I tell everyone because i’m so proud of it! There is still some things holding me back but i’m Trying to get over it and just do it!

Hear, hear! This is phenomenal advice.
I’m 40, and while age isn’t a magic bullet, I feel like each year past thirty I age directly reduces the number of f*&$s given by a moderate but appreciable amount. I feel like as you accumulate the evidence and experience that NO ONE ever has it ALL figured out (And that’s okay! And we’re worthy of love and respect anyway! And this is how we are lifelong learners!), the self-imposed pressure to be perfect and infallible and liked by everyone decreases.

This quote by Winston Churchill has served me well:
“When you’re 20 you care about what everyone thinks, when you’re 40 you stop caring about what everyone thinks, and when you’re 60 you realize no one was ever thinking about you in the first place. You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.”
