..so If I Wanted To Try To Be Me And A 100% Just Me, No Matter Who Is Still In My Life Down The Line

..so if I wanted to try to be me and a 100% just me, no matter who is still in my life down the line I will at least be happy with who I turned out to be. and if anybody likes that and if anybody wants to join me in loving who I am, ‘cause I know I will be loving who I am, more power to ‘em. (x)

My mom is a Latina. She looks like Maria from Book of Life.

I am biracial and half-Latino. I look like Honey Lemon from Big Hero 6.

Neither one of us is magically ‘not’ Latino just because we have different skin tones or hair color. Being Latin@ is an ethnicity, not an appearance.

racist people when a white character gets switched to a minority: why are they forcing diversity :\ :\ why does everything have to be 'diverse' these days??

racist people when a minority character gets switched to white: why are SJWs bitching about this :\ :\ why can't they accept that moviemakers are casting based on talent??

racist people when a canonically minority character is played by a minority: tbh i never pictured them that way :\ :\ where does it say in the book that they look like this??

Things I don't have time for:

1) This shit. 2) Yo shit. 3) They shit. 4) None of this shit. 5) The bullshit. 6) Anything that ain’t got shit to do with me.

How to Stand up for Yourself

1. Decide to stop being a doormat, a people pleaser or someone who gets pushed around.

2. Start believing in yourself. Work on developing your self-confidence, and setting achievable and meaningful goals. Decide tiy won’t be a clone of everyone else.

3. Develop a positive attitude. If you’re optimistic and expect to succeed – instead of being a victim or someone who gets used - then others will treat you with respect and dignity. In many ways, we create what we expect.

4. Get help for the wounds and the damage from your past. Often people who’ve been wounded and hurt by other people find it hard to develop inner confidence and pride. But there is help available and you can have a different life.

5. Trust your instincts. Not everyone is kind or a healthy influence. If you start to feel uncomfortable then trust your inner feelings and don’t allow that person to be part of your life.

6. Learn to be assertive. Being assertive is a skill – and it’s a skill you can acquire. It involves being able to say what’s on your mind – or to say “no” if you want to – while sounding confident.

7. Be willing to defend yourself or speak your mind. You have a right to your opinions and your personal points of view –so practise speaking up in a calm, confident way.

8. Pay attention to your body language. We communicate much more through our non-verbal cues than the actual words when we use we’re speaking to others – so use your body language to convey a sense of pride. That is, stand up straight, make eye contact and use a warm, but steady, voice.

nothings worse than passing up an opportunity you know you would’ve enjoyed because of the fear of being judged
