BE YOURSELF

BE YOURSELF 

Being yourself is a challenge many people face. It can be one of the hardest challenges people may come across. Growing up I have always been taught to be myself and this is something I am thankful for. Being yourself is not an easy thing, especially for teenagers. To fit in we have to think of how we should act, what people should expect and many people fear that if they don't act how their friends want then they won't be accepted. Many people put on a mask everyday just to fit in and feel like they belong. Don't be how other people want you to be, be you and be happy. In years to come you might look back to when you were younger and think about how you wish you had been yourself. Being yourself is not an easy thing, it will be easier to put that mask on every morning before you go to school and act in a way you know you really hate but being yourself will make you happier, you don't have to worry about letting your guard down or panicking if you have said something your friends won't like. At times myself I have thought will things be easier if I act like other people and change myself for them. Will it be easier? probably, yes. Will I be happier? No. Don't change yourself for anyone, if they don't like you the way you are then they aren't worth your time. Take this risk to make yourself happier. It may be hard but you have to love yourself and who you are. So I challenge you to be who you are, to be real with yourself. Just enjoy not having to worry about anyone or anything and just be comfortable with who you are. I hope that if you are reading this it might offer you a bit of comfort and make you realise that you a perfect just the way you are.

Thank you for reading,

The Tale Of A Devil

I had to write this for my English work a while back and I'm pretty proud of it so I thought I would put it here. Enjoy :)

I could hear the scraping suitcases and laughter from where I was stood on the old landing. I moved so I was stood next to the banister and thought to myself ‘’should I go down?’’

‘’Ava?’’ someone called. I quickly peered over the banister before slowly sneaking back into the shadows, letting out a sigh of frustration when the floor board creaked. Deciding to ignore the unknown caller of my name I slowly retreated back to the small room I had been staying in, remembering that I had been without the beautiful rose pendant. I reached my hand up to my neck, suddenly feeling like part of me was missing. As I entered the room I slammed the door behind me and ran to the bed, throwing the pillows and covers off as I searched for the source of my existence. A movement catches the corner of my eye and I stand, eyes roaming to see who the intruder was. The window was wide open. Dread filled my entire body as I realised the pendant was gone. My time was up. I move to the mirror, feeling as if I am floating and stop, my eyes looking into shiny surface. Looking back at me was the person I had been running from. Cold, captivating eyes, long, luscious, dark hair, skin as pale as snow. This was the face of evil. I am the angel of darkness. The lights flicker as a bone crunching sound can be heard through the room as wings sprout from my back. Feather by feather they turned black. A demon was born.

I hope you guys enjoy this. All of the credit for this goes to me, I wrote this myself and it is my work so please don't steal or anything like that because I spent a lot of time on this. 

Let me know what you think!
