For so long, I tried to force myself to fit into the crowd—to be the typical "sorority" girl, to have the "cool" people my age like me. But the more I tried, the more it just didn’t work. My happiness drifted further away, and I felt even more disconnected from my higher self and from real, meaningful connections. Now, I realize it’s okay not to fit in. It’s okay to do what makes me happy, even if that means having fewer friends or not following the crowd. I just want to be my most authentic self and surround myself with people who appreciate that. Just being me is always enough. Have you ever felt this way? Share your story below! #AuthenticSelf #SpiritualJourney #BeYou #Spirituality
