~Memories~ (Long post) ACCEPTANCE, Most of you by now know my story and how I stumbled upon the legion. In one word as I tell any and everyone my story who will listen, about @pjbraunfitness & the main reason, I am so loyal to the #blackstonelabs_legion is ACCEPTANCE. I know I have many, many unique quirks, to put it mildly, everything from Having cerebral palsy to Autism and other things to just being a "Rainbow 🌈 on crack " as some legion members tease me on. Even PJ jokes about my sexuality, and you know what it still boils down to ACCEPTANCE. PJ, the #blackstonelabs_official, #blackstonelabs_legion have ACCEPTED me as is and for that, I am truly GRATEFUL 🌈🤗🌈. "You will NEVER influence the world 🌏 around you by being just like it" I appreciate them all uniquely and in their own right as they do me. Use my code OMNIMUSCLE and you can be grateful for the savings, 😜 #appreciationpost ##memories @pjbraunfitness #mindfulness @itsallfairgame #blackstonelabs_official #influencer #justasiam @masterhardrocs_bodybuilding @strengthaddicts #Lifecoach #respect #acceptance #blackstonelabs_legion @strengthaddictsmedia #mentalhealth #phyicalhealth #emotionalhealth #autism #rainbowoncrack #wisdom #PEERLESSMODE #🌈🤗🌈 #writersofinstagram #rainbowhugs #spiritalhealth #OMNIMODE #uniquequirks https://www.instagram.com/p/CSNZettlnwL/?utm_medium=tumblr
