Be Silly. Be Honest. Be Kind.
6 words that can define our lives… 6 words that I choose to
live my life by. Most people have a detailed passage from a famous historian that they
live by, but me, I live by this one phrase. When I was about 10 years old my
mum went to visit my auntie for a week or so and it was tradition in our family
that if you go away you bring something back, so my mum brought me and my
sister back a pack each of inspiration or wisdom cards. I hadn’t really thought
anything of them until a few years ago when I found them in a box that had
things from when I was little in it.
I started to flick through them and a lot of them said
things like ‘put yourself in other peoples shoes’ etc. But one in particular
stuck out to me and this was the card that read; Be Silly. Be Honest. Be Kind
and I thought to myself if I live by these 6 word I will enjoy life a lot more,
I’ll be able to laugh and the tough stuff, be the person I want to be and
people will enjoy my company. I think that what this phrase is trying to say is
that as long as you be silly, be honest and be kind you will be true to
yourself and people will respect you, which is what is really important to me.
I have struggled before to try and discover who I am, what
my style is, what kind of person I am and what kind of person I want to be and
I think that in the future this phrase will really help me to determine this.
You always see the different styles that people have like; the punk girl, the indie
girl, the beach babe and you discover people’s talents and abilities and I’ve
always been that person that has tried to be these different people but
never really tired to be myself but as longs as I live by these 6 words I know
that I can be myself and I can discover the person I want to be.
Lots of Love and Keep Dreaming xox
