BORN THIS WAY( Being Special in My own Way)

                 “Always be a first rate version of yourself and not a second rate version of someone else.” 

I am not freaking special. That’s what I said to myself as our teacher told us our next blog topic was about being special. As I was staring at my laptop I keep on thinking how I am going to start with my blog ‘cause I don’t know if I am even really special. I act normal; I do normal stuffs like what other normal people do. In my fifteen years of existence nobody has asked me if I am special (and I’m pretty sure that I won’t be able to answer it). I don’t know what part of my body or where is that special thingyyy found. Is it within me? Is it me? Or maybe I’m really NOT SPECIAL.

It’s never been easy to find the real you. I had a hard time finding the real me, and right now I’m dealing with this question bothering me “Am I special?” Ughhh. I don’t know because I have characteristics that are not of the standards on being special.  I am not good-looking, genius or physically fit. I am bothered with my own skin and body. It’s like I am 0.00001% special. Simply, I am very far from being special (I don’t have a chance at all on being special). But I realized that being special is not being the most popular, the prettiest person but when we talk of special it’s not about the looks or the talents it’s about ACCEPTING THE REAL YOU AND NOT TRYING TO ACT LIKE SOMEBODY ELSE FOR PEOPLE TO LIKE YOU OR FOR YOU TO FIT IN.

 Yes!  Finally I realized that we are I mean I am special. Every individual is special. Something within us is special. I am pretty sure that I won’t try to do the things that other people want me to do because that’s SHIT. I mean why do you have to change who you are, if that’s who you are you should love and accept yourself because you are SPECIAL. We are all special in our own ways.  We don’t have to prove it to others how special, different or how extraordinary we really are because knowing the real you and making the most out of yourself is being SPECIAL.

I AM IRA CRISTINA SAGALA SANTOS, AND I BELIEVE THAT I AM SPECIAL BECAUSE I AM ME AND NOBODY CAN BE LIKE ME BECAUSE I AM ONLY ONE. I FEEL SO SPECIAL ALSO BECAUSE OF ALL THE PEOPLE SURROUNDING ME THE PEOPLE WHOM I LOVE AND THE ONES WHO LOVE ME.
