monday morning encouragement: donut be ashamed of who you are

  
Today is Monday. And as you head out into your day reflecting on the weekend, I want you to know one thing: don’t be ashamed of who you are. Or ya know, in my love language, donut be ashamed of who you are.

Many people will not be just like you. Which is good, you want to be you & you don’t want someone else being you, only you. Do you follow? People may not get you or understand why you do something. But know that it’s okay. It’s okay to be you & you should never be ashamed of it.

If you love being social, then be it. If you love cracking jokes, then do it. If you love donut puns (guilty), then donut stop saying them. If you don’t like big crowds, then keep it simple. If you don’t like trying new things alone, then don’t. You don’t need to explain yourself. Just be you. Don’t be ashamed. Don’t overthink who you are, just be you.

You can make it through today without shaming yourself. I know you can. It’s possible to love yourself & be confident in who you are. It’s okay if you slip up, we all do. But today, try & love who you are fully. Today, donut be ashamed of the things that make you, you because you’re something special & that’s a great thing to be. So please, please, donut be ashamed to be who you are my friend.
