He urged him to pursue his passions, even if might feel lonely at times.A post shared by TODRICK (@todrick)“Little Todrick, it’s older Todrick here with some important advice…” he wrote.“You are special, you move different, you speak different, you think different because you are different and that’s ok, but it’s lonely.“The world might not give you a road to walk down, so you might have to pave your own yellow brick road.
The way you love and the way you feel isn’t wrong, no matter how much people try to convince you that it is. You are a dreamer, so chase every single dream you can dream, especially the wildest ones…you’ll fail sometimes (a lot) and people who have never had a dream worth chasing will judge you for how you failed at chasing yours…ignore them, keep going!“If you fail, fail hard.
