The best compliment I ever got was from a college friend who I hadn't seen in over 5 years . He said "You've always been a rebel". I immediately felt perplexed and proud. It's funny how you can be perceived. I never thought of myself as a rebel, there has always been a part of me that cared what other people thought, afraid of disappointing. But then I thought about another side, the side of me that found the normal boring and the off beat interesting. The side of me that was spontaneous and risky and did whatever I wanted to without a second thought of how I was perceived. As I've gotten older I'm realizing that this is the side I am most proud of. I will not say in these moments I haven't made mistakes (because that would just be a hilarious lie) and I have certainly learned from these mistakes, but the wild isn't going anywhere (T.G). So here's to all you wild spirits out there, "The Rebels"- even if you don't wear it as a badge- it's in you, you know it- enjoy and love it.
