Finding Yourself

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. ~Dr. Seuss

Who am I? It's a valid question. A question everyone faces eventually. But how do we find out? What can show us? Who can tell us? Why do we even need to know? I'll tell you why...We are not supposed to spend our entire life hiding behind a mask! And in truth it's just something you have to stumble upon. Like it just runs through your brain one day and you're all like, "OH, I get it now." No one can tell you who you are except yourself. So don't pretend to be something you're not. I know I do on occasion. And please don't be someone just to make someone else happy. Is there happiness really more important than you're own personal well being? And all truth be told why would you spend your time with someone you have to be fake for? If they don't truly love you for who you are (faults, mistakes, and all that jazz included) then they have no business with you.

It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for something you are not. ~Andre Gide

Finding yourself and accepting it is a lifelong journey. An important one that will teach you many things about yourself that you may have never known; limits, dreams, capabilities, strenghts, weaknesses. All I'm saying is that we shouldn't have to be anything we're not for anyone. And the sooner we realize that the better.

He who trims himself to suit everyone will soon whittle himself away. ~Raymond Hull
