Self worth is something most people overlook. It founds people’s everyday actions and words, as being the base of everything a person says or does. Definition: the sense of one's own value or worth as a person; self-esteem; self-respect. I have struggled with the idea of being “good enough” most of my life, but as I have matured I have realized that not only is there no such thing as “fitting in”, but there is no “normal”. Normal was invented by people who had similarities in specific subjects and deemed it so, not everyone is like those people. We are all special and beautiful in our own ways, and we not only have to appreciate that, but we have to put it on display! Be proud of who we are: our weight, height, religion, race, ethnicity, culture, and our personality. We can try as hard as we want to be like someone else but at the end of the day, you are still you, not them. So rather than wasting my time any longer trying to “fit in”, I accept my weird, funny, crazy self. Yes, there are still days when I wish to be like someone else, but that is part of being human. The only difference is that I accept that I am not them, and instead of wishing to be them, I admire them for their own qualities.

definition: to know what the other person's feeling or going through
People should always be understanding of other people's lives because you never know the big picture of their lives. Even though your life is hard and complex, their lives are equally as hard. That's why I should be more hesitant in assuming what other people are thinking.
