For many years, I would have an aching to meet someone else like me. For others out there, have you experienced the same kinds of issues growing up? I have such a strong passion to help others and am about to get my degree as a Mental Health counselor. I am also a licensed massage therapist and certified personal trainer. For 18 years of my life, I competed as a synchronized swimmer and also have a history in ballet, soccer and track. I consider myself very well-rounded and as previously stated, since I don't fit into a particular box, I have a drive to explore interests beyond stereotypical norms society wants to place on me.
Mixies are beautiful. There is such a vast array of differences we all possess. As I have walked through life, I have been able to come into contact with more of those from my culture and it is a breath of fresh air to observe how our minds are different than others but the same in curiosity. Overcoming adversity derives such a great sense of resilience that Mixies who are self-aware and have journeyed through life experiences to embody a strong confidence represent. I am proud of my culture. If you have struggled with similar issues, have faith that you have the power to define your own boundaries and make sense of the world in a unique way and take comfort in knowing, you are not alone! If bullying is something you have experienced as I did or are dealing with now, recognize that those around you are insecure in themselves and feel the need to belittle your greatness. Be encouraged and acknowledge your beauty. You are stronger than you think you are!
