Great post Joey!! I try to not worry about what other people think, but it's hard not to. Even on my blog, since I'm just starting out, I really worry about what to write so I can make a good impression. But really, if someone doesn't like it, they don't have to read. I love that Sara Bareilles video too. From what I read from you, I think you are great! 🙂

So, lately, I've been struggling with the idea that I have to BE more. Like, whatever I've been isn't good enough. I need to obtain a level of career, of blogging, of friendship, of physique, money, fashion, etc. that is above whatever I've been doing.
And I can't do it. Like, I just can't. So I go to sleep each night thinking, "Oh, I should've done that today" in a regretful way.
I know what you're talking about! Because in the end, it's that confidence and courage that people remember about us. Not the stuff we worry about.

I love this post. and you're right – I never think "Hmmm, maybe someone will be drawn to this weird thing I say." Without fail, I always think that I am going to scare people. Glad you are being you and getting more comfortable with it all the time!

I love this song!! Never have seen the video, but it's perfect. And yes, my heart would swell to see someone enjoying themselves fully like that. <3

As for being yourself and being judged, I of course here ya. I think it's hard at times not to. But I've realized that the people that I really like the most and respect are those that let it out and are themselves. Even if they don't fit with me in every thought or category, I appreciate them sticking with their opinions and likes because they are true to them. And I feel that I can usually tell when they aren't, when they are just trying to conform. So YES, be brave. That is one of the most likable things about someone in and of itself!! :)
