ALEX HOLT

I am not going to lie….I’ve struggled with feeling like an outsider more than I care to admit to. The way each of us live is not to be judged by others, people remember that. This is where I figured it all out and why others never understood me, and why I don’t understand myself from time to time…. For some time, well a long time I thought that moving somewhere different and totally changing my life was the only way I was going to find true happiness. I’m slowly realizing that I can create the life I want for myself no matter where I live or what I do. If people consider me an outsider because I don’t do things the way they do, that’s okay. I’d rather be friends with those who are willing to accept my differences and be my friend anyway, whether they agree with me or not.
It is lifestyle choices that set you apart from the people in your life and the world. I know I have struggled with feeling like I don’t belong. Maybe it’s the fact that you’re trying to embrace a better-quality life when others around you don’t support it. That can positively make you feel like you don’t belong.

To be honest, I am finally getting comfortable with myself. I’ve discovered, I am a bit awkward….ha ha, it is true. I act tough and like I don’t care, however, I discovered I DO CARE!! No more letting others chip away at me. Like me for me or don’t, that is your choice.
