I’ve always been introverted. I’m 33 now. As I’ve grown older I’ve noticed that I’ve become more extroverted, or at least perceived that way. Especially over the past 3-5 years. I used to think what many people thought about people like Mayweather, arrogant etc. But honestly after what’s transpired over the past few years, I’ve been called arrogant, selfish, blunt, etc. And for what? Learning that speaking the truth and not just going along with what the so called norm narrative is just because it’s easier and not wanting to be an outcast? I’m starting to think that in order to speak unpopular truths about things is perceived as arrogant to other people. And so be it, if that’s what people want to think then that’s their problem. So I now look at examples of people like this and think that a person may have to be that way in order to live their truth and be proud about what they stand for and look at it totally differently. At first I was hesitant to speak up about things I knew were false due to being ridiculed and ostracized, but after so long I don’t care and am unapologetically vocal about bs that is spewed. And now I start relating it to faith in god, and how at earlier points in my life I was hesitant to admit my love for god because of how other people perceived it and looked at as a weird religious nut. I’m not perfect and no I can get better, but I’m realizing more everyday the truth about why god says to not deny him in front of friends and family. Language is important. And getting over that fear of embarrassment means to speak and show what you know is true and care about, even while knowing people will ridicule you for it.

Sorry to go on a rant but this clip just made me think about that. And these past couple of years have been a wild ride but I’ve grown so much in many different ways, and it’s just making me look at everything differently now.
