BEING YOU SHOULD BE YOUR ONLY RULE
<p>Sometimes, I think we spend too much time trying to figure out who we should be.</p><p><br/></p><p>Be more like this person.</p><p>Dress like that person.</p><p>Talk this way.</p><p>Act this way.</p><p>Have your life figured out by this age.</p><p><br/></p><p>And somehow, in the middle of trying to become everything everyone expects us to be, we forget the person we actually are.</p><p><br/></p><p>I don’t think being yourself means you should never change. Growth is necessary. Learning is necessary. Becoming better is necessary.</p><p><br/></p><p>But there is a difference between growing into yourself and changing yourself just to be accepted.</p><p><br/></p><p>You shouldn’t have to constantly edit your personality because someone thinks you’re too loud, too quiet, too emotional, too ambitious, too different, or simply too you.</p><p><br/></p><p>There will always be people who don’t understand you. There will always be people who think you should be something else.</p><p><br/></p><p>But what happens when you spend your whole life trying to become their version of you?</p><p><br/></p><p>Who do you become then?</p><p><br/></p><p>Maybe being you should be your only rule.</p><p><br/></p><p>Not because everyone will like you.</p><p><br/></p><p>But because, at the end of the day, you are the one who has to live with yourself. ✨</p><p><br/></p><p>So maybe the question isn’t “Do people like who I am?”</p><p><br/></p><p>Maybe it should be:</p><p><br/></p><p>“Do I like who I am becoming?”</p>
