It seems to me that we are always trying to fit in, always afraid of being judged.....afraid to be who we are...that being who we are is somehow not good enough. So we put on facades and play games to avoid showing who we really are...for fear that we won't be accepted....that we won't be loved.
But who we are is really our greatest treasure in this world. Maybe not everyone will embrace us...maybe not everyone will understand...but that is ok. We will find those that 'get ' us and hold them close...and all the others out there that don't...well they won't really matter...and won't even realize what they are missing.
So resolve to be yourself...your own special combination of strengths and weaknesses, triumphs and failures, laughs and sorrows, joys and sadnesses...and be the best version of yourself that you can be. Shine your own special light in the world...and those who are true and important in your life will bask in the glow.
"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment."
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
