Labels. We create them, we hear them and worst of all we believe them. Labels surround us every day, from the clothes we wear to the people we talk to. Labels do not define us, the only way a label is defining you is if you let it.
Here, lets try something. Think of all the labels people have put on you, write 10 of them down. It's okay if some of them hurt, you know they aren't true. I'm doing it right along with you...
1. Heartless
2. Depressed
3. Anxious
4. Selfish
5. Ugly
6. Fat
7. Racist
8. Hispanic
9. Bitch
10. Stupid
Okay now that you have your 10 tell me who you are, the labels that you would choose for yourself because you are the only person who truly knows you.
I am Suzanna Rita Pikering. I am a confident, beautiful, smart, 20 year old woman who knows what she is passionate about and is not scared to chase it. I love adventure in every aspect of the word. I love fashion because I have never doubted my skills in it. I aspire to constantly give of myself, but lately have been more mindful about taking care of myself. I love the coast guard and am an absolute nerd about it. I love to workout because it clears my mind, and mental health is incredibly important to me. I love to dress up because my motto is, "you never know who you will meet, so better to be over dressed." Do not fear labels. I am sure sometimes I have been labeled correctly, but I am the one who choses which labels will define me. I am not perfect, I'm simply Suzanna Rita Pickering.
Remember this the next time a label hurts your heart, "By the grace of God, I am what I am." ~1 Corinthians 25:10
Sending love, self confidence, and {Suzey} Sunshine your way....xoxo
