I used to sit and think about how much I needed to “fit” in and be “like everyone else” – Be “doing” what others did, showing up in same capacity as “they did” …. Because they were “GROWING” on social media …

Actually. That’s how I’ve felt my entire LIFE. From Elementary to JH to HS. I’ve never actually really “fit” in anywhere it seems. I’ve always been there, in the mist. But never really felt comfortable- – and I’m not saying ‘tis had anything to do with the group of friends I’ve had & hangout with … because it’s always been a “ME” thing.

I put a lot of pressure on myself to not stand out of the crowd. I want to be like everyone else … skirting the shadows. Not being the center of attention or take the credit when it was due. Even last week, I continued to remind everyone that it was Jason’s Hay Story. Even though it’s every bit of an “Us” thing.

It’s really hit me this morning as I sit and write. Just how FAR we’ve come, how far I’ve come in life … 34 years old. Used to feel ancient. Now I’m trying to remind myself I’m not in my twenties anymore. You just don’t bounce back as fast.

My Social Media Accounts have no * aesthetic, appealing, rhyme or reason * …. It’s just ME showing up … simply as ME. And I finally came to terms with that this morning.

I am a VOICE in Ag. I am ONE of a Kind. I am a Female Farmer Sharing HER story. And I am so thankful, for the little reminder that it’s okay to be different and not be like the rest. It’s what makes me Authentically Me.
