“You know what’s underrated? Letting people be. Letting them mispronounce a word, talk too much about a show they love, or get excited about something you don’t understand. You don’t have to get it, just be kind. Everyone’s got something that lights them up. Let them shine, even if it’s not your thing.” — unknown

I love this. People seem to fear what they don’t understand. Perhaps if we just focused more on embracing the other person rather than criticizing what they’re into, we’d all be better off. Love them and let them be.

The only thing I would also add is to let ourselves be and allow ourselves, too, to shine without judgement or embarrassment for what lights us up.

Here are a few of my things that others may or may not relate to: fallen leaves, colorful reflections, untimely blooms, and, of course, my dog.
