Pandas are the most genuine animal I know. They look normal in a colored imagery. In fact they are just being themselves - black and white. In monochromatic imagery, even when colors start to fade and disappear around them, they still stay the same - black and white. That's what we need. Being true, all the time, to ourselves. Don't try so hard to be someone you are not. Don't be too hard on yourself. Don't lose yourself to meet society's standards because that's a sham. Being different does not make you wrong. If they don't like you for what you truly are, that is their prerogative. Respect it and move on. You know who you are. Pretense kills tge real you bit by bit. And once you realize it, the real you is already gone. So keep calm and just lay low like a panda. 😍🐼
