Talk the talk

July 30th, 2012 at 6:38 pm.

Hi guys and gals. I’m off work a bit earlier today and I’m enjoying the free time. Plus, my mum and brother left for a midweek this morning so I have the entire apartment to myself. Pretty fab.

While I was browsing a bit I came across this quote and boy, did it hit home.

Let’s – as usual – be honest here: I don’t have the best of filtering systems. A lot of times things slip out that I really don’t mean to let slip. I’ll spare you all the details of my latest foot-in-mouth-story from Utrecht but it involves a male friend. And me going on about Lelo being Swedish design. You can all google that and surely you can then imagine his face.

Anyways. I didn’t want to post this picture to talk about my embarrassing stories.

The reason this quote spoke to me is that it appeals to my person. And with that I mean that there’s only one me. There’s only one Karen and one is enough. I don’t have to try and always be what people want or expect or desire me to be. Being myself is enough.

And whatever is true for me is true for you too:

You are enough.

Seriously.

Talk your talk and walk your walk. Do your thing. If someone tells you you can’t achieve something, prove them wrong. If they say you talk too much or too loudly (often guilty on both fronts) turn around and talk to someone else. Your friends – your true friends – will love that you talk too much or nicely ask you to just lower your voice a tad if the volume is becoming too high.

Be yourself. There are already so many imitations out there.

Have a lovely day!

    I agree – and also you realise who your true friends are when you’re yourself x

      So incredibly true. And you also attract like-minded people by being your true self. Only good points really.
