Journal #36 - Being Yourself

Have you ever had that friend whose personality changes depending on who they are with? Most people do. If you do not, then there is a possibility that you are that person. Anywho, those people probably have difficulty being themselves. This unfortunately is true of a lot of people. Most people, unless you are a perfect person, act differently around their parents or grandparents than they do around their friends and peers. It is just how it works. It is a sad truth though. When you think about yourself, you are able to picture who you know you are truly like, whether you at that way or not. Would it not be great if we could all just be ourselves to everyone? We would never have to fear that we were acting differently than we normally do because we'd always be the same! It is extremely important that we, as human beings, show who we really are to those around us. What is the point in living a lie? If we were able to be ourselves and let our true colors shine, we would most likely be more happy than if we fake our behavior. I will not start talking about how God made us all perfect since not everyone is of the Christian faith, but I will say that however you were made, you were made for a reason. Everyone is unique and I am a strong believer in having that uniqueness shine through. Being yourself brings more joy and accomplishment to your life. It can make you feel like you have a purpose in life. You. Your unique personality that it probably going to be loved no matter what at least by some people in the world. So, whenever you are with people that you like, be sure to be yourself. You are a special person, made for a reason, and if you choose to hide that, you will never feel truly fulfilled in this world.
