Be you.

Thoughts..

I don't need to prove myself to anyone.

I don't need to live up to anyone else's standards.

I don't have to be accepted by anyone.

I am me, and that's all I have to be.

Today I was reflecting on how painful it is to be rejected by someone, or how it feels to be told you aren't good enough. No one should feel like that ever. No one should ever feel like they need to change, or be different, or impress someone to be wanted, needed or loved. 

Don't change for anyone. Be you. Because if you change to be accepted, you'll have to keep up the front if you want anything to last. And the day that gets too exhausting, you won't be able to remember who you really were.
