You were never made to fit the mold! #katiJT

Hey everybody, happy Saturday.

And when it's Saturday here,

if you're new, I put out a journal topic.

And the reason that I am so into

journalling is that I really think

it's good for all of us, even if

it's not a structured journal,

where we're like, "I'm talking about this,

Dear Diary, today I went

to the grocery store."

Even if it's not like a telling

of your entire day, I think it's

really important to our growth

for us to recognize what's going on

in our head, and what we're doing,

positive, negative, so that we can

look back, and maybe reflect on our day,

or our week, or our month, and then

see things that we maybe wanna change

or things that we've been working on

and we were succeeding

so i think in a way it helps us

kinda keep track of whats really going on

inside so thats why i do this.

and i hope that you like it.if you guys

like the journal topics can you

give it a thumbs up? because this

isn't something that I have to keep doing

its just something that I've always

liked to do personally, and something

that I always reccommend my clients do

so let me know with a thumbs up okay?

Todays journal topic, an I'm such an ass

I forgot to put this persons name down

so if this is you, let me know because

I appologize because they put all this

time into, and I think it was on my

website. About one of their favorite

bands called Fireflight and They gave

a ton of different journal topics.

and I forgot to put their name down

because I was busy copy & pasting all

their ideas, cause I like your ideas

okay, so todays comes from that person

who may tell us who they are below.

Uhm & they say its another quote

from Fireflight because they really like

that band and from the song lightning

If ya'll wanna look them up you can

And it says you were never made to fit

the mold, be a supernova and explode.

and she says what makes you different?

List the reasons you think your different

and write down I was never made to fit

the mold, and write down ways in which

you can make your individuality

show instead of hidng it and pretending

that your like someone else or everyone

else. And I really like this because ..

The interesting thing about growing up

for any of you who are still in highschool

and maybe even in college . I dont

know if.. Sorry I'm all over the place

but if anybody watches Modern Family

one of my FAVORITE parts is when Mitchell

is talking to Manny,and if you dont know

the show I applologize but he says that

"You know it's had being like weird

or different when your younger because

everybody is seeking to be the same.

everybody wants to fit in"

and thats kinda like your teen years

maybe even like highschool to like

college-y--ish time but then when you

get older, its what makes you so different

& werid that makes people like you

then that becomes a cool thing.

and I find that so facinating and I would

encourage all of you to spend a little

time recognizing what maybe different

and what maybe we're talking negatively

to ourselves about and instead of doing

that, taking some time to think about

how cool it is that maybe your f..

i'll give some of my own examples,

that my family is Polish & when they

make a lot of Polish food..

and you know some of my friends are like

ugh what is that? eww.. we don't... I've

never had that before. or ANYTHING

I would be embarassed or .. things about

maybe you have an accent, maybe your gay,

maybe you are much taller than everybody

else or much shorter, or much heavier

or skinnier or your skin is lighter or

darker than those you go to school with.

and everybodys always like It's so bad

you should all look the same

but you know what makes the world

wonderful? Is that were all different and

so I would encurage you all to take time

and this journal and just like she said

like.... embracing our differences and

try to change the way we talk to

ourselves about it. Because I was just

talking to Shawn this morning.. about how

cool our community is & I just named off

like five different people that I've been

talking to recently. Because I try and

interact as much as I can Uhm and all the

different wonderful things your doing!

Some of you are about to graduate and

become a nurse, some of you are EMT's

some of you do amazing oragami, some of

you are like artists, some of you are in

school and still studying to become a

therapist like me. There are so many

different people doing different things

and it's just so cool that we're so

varied all over the board. And thats

what I LOVE, is the differences

learning about different things and

different people and.. our different

experiences.. thats what I love

So.. Try it! and let me know how it goes

and maybe share some of the things that

make you uniquely and wonderfully you.

LOVE YOU! SEE YOU ON MONDAY BYE!
