Impress No One But Yourself.

“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.”

Oh, Dr. Seuss, how I love you so. You speak the truth and nothing less. You say it in such a way that is gentle enough for children yet wise enough for adults. You tell it like it is and not how it should be. You are officially my idol.

People would constantly ask me throughout my childhood, “who’s your idol?” “Who do you look up to?” My immediate answer would be, “my parents.” Or some celebrity I thought was pretty at that moment. It wasn’t until now that I realized who my idol has been all along: Dr. Seuss.

I mean, isn’t he great? Who else can bust a rhyme when telling you they don’t like green eggs and ham? Dr. Seuss got game! If he wanted to, he could walk up to a honey and bag.

Okay, I’m exaggerating. But I can’t lie, he’s pretty dope! He’s a good writer with great content. Not only can he write, but he’s hella good at drawing. Does that sound familiar? I like to write and draw… just not as well as Dr. Seuss.

But, trust: Dr. Seuss ain’t playin’ when he tells you to be yourself. Think about it, it’s the truth: the people who actually give a damn about what you say or do are the ones who are the most insignificant in your life. And the ones who see you no different today than they saw you yesterday are the ones you care for. Am I right? Or am I right? Well, technically, Dr.Seuss is right.

I don’t care how hard you are, how big your ego is or how you trippin’ thinking no other is better. You are and will always be thinking about what someone thinks of you. It may not be everyone, but someone. If you see a rather attractive male across the room, don’t go out of your way to attempt to look hot. If he like what he sees, he’ll approach, if not, then he won’t. No man is worth impressing. Best believe that.

I’m not talking about only the men. I’m talking ladies too. I know you probably walk into a party with the flyest outfit that took hours toprepare. Then you find some sleaze with the same top. Don’t get frustrated, just know you rockin’ it better than her. Because your Gladiator T-strap heels definitely look better than her clear-heeled hooker shoes. Because your perfect amount of gold accessories look hell ova lot better than her tacky plastic ornaments. Because your well-curled hair looks damn good compared to her failed attempt a tan edgy hair cut. Sure she may be grillin’ you, but who cares. She’s not worth your time. Let them do them, and you do you.

“Expect the best, be prepared for the worst, forget what others think & do your own thing.”
