Let each line or sketch reflect what feels true inside. Post it where others can smile.

History of I’m Just Me Because Month
I’m Just Me Because Month began with a clear and uplifting goal.
A national group called the I’m Just Me Movement, working with the National Day Calendar, introduced the idea in November 2016. They wanted to create a time when people could share what makes them unique without fear or hesitation.
The founders chose October as the month to celebrate. They believed this timing could inspire people to reflect and connect before the busy holiday season.
Schools, community groups, and online spaces were encouraged to take part in spreading the message.
They saw it as more than a campaign. It was a chance for people to speak proudly about their true selves. From personal traits to unusual hobbies, the focus stayed on accepting and appreciating individuality.
Since its start, the month has grown in reach. More communities join each year, adding creative activities and conversations.
Social media has helped the message travel even further, giving people worldwide a platform to share their stories.
Today, I’m Just Me Because Month continues to remind everyone that each voice matters. It began as a small spark and has become a warm, welcoming tradition.
