You are you. Now isn't that pleasant?

It is better to be hated for who you are than loved for who you are not - Andre Gide

 We live in a world full of constant judgment and people trying to make you into what they want you to be. It takes a lot of strength and courage to be 100% true to yourself and who you are and stand up for what you believe in. Sometimes we let others manipulate us into becoming something we're not just to make them happy with out even knowing. We try to please the people we "love" and by doing that we then loose ourselves. I admire people who are so true to who they are without worry of judgment or acceptance. I've delt with this battle over and over thinking the outcome would in some way be different. I don't go places, I don't do things, I sacrifice my dreams for someone to make them feel "secure" and by doing that I lost myself. I loose what truly makes me happy. I look back and realize what I've given up for some people who have been a part of my life and although I am so mad at myself for doing that I wouldn't change it because each mistake or sacrifice I've made on a count of someone else has taught me so much bout myself. It has taught me that the right people in my life will care & love me for me, 100% me. I don't have to fake who I am or pretend to be someone or something else for anyone. I look at people who have so many masks they are truly lost in who they are and my heart breaks. I can't imagine living a life where I had to hide who I am and what I believe is right. Cause if we aren't true to ourselves in life than who are we living for?
