Hi there,

How many times have you heard this, be yourself do what you love to do? But do they mean it when they say it? Do you believe them that this time those judgemental eyes are not going to stop you from doing that one thing?

Is it easy? No. Why? Because being yourself means it's difficult to adjust with others and abide by the rules and follow their standards.

Many a time just to fit in according to the norms laid down by the people we surrender our own reality. Yes, I completely agree people are an important part of life and I don't deny the fact that we should try our best to adjust ourselves. But is it always necessary to forget ourselves in the process of adjusting? I know it easy to say and difficult to apply.

I know it takes courage to let go of people but in the long run, you feel better. Because once people are gone you might feel lonely, but if in the process of not letting people go you lose yourself, you feel lost.

Everyone is different. If you haven't heard this from anyone yet. No one made you feel special. I am telling you, you are. Trust me on this. Being unique, being yourself is your right that needs to be highlighted like any other right.

Never lose yourself. The only thing you should be proud of is being yourself. If people accept it great, if they don't it still ok.

Learn to live without people who bind you if necessary but not without yourself.

Being yourself is courageous, Be courageous!! Be the REAL YOU.
