Drop the Mask and Be You

This is a post that I feel a lot of people need.  And I'm only saying this because I went through the same thing and occasionally slip back into this old habit.  So I just want to take the time to say this to each and every person that I can touch with this blog. 


I had a bad habit of dumbing myself down and changing who I was to fit in during high school to make friends with people.  I wouldn't read the things I liked, watch the things I like, talk about the things I like all to please some people that weren't there for me a few weeks after graduation. And this lead me down a very difficult road. And I am just now correcting myself when it comes to my mindset and just letting the people in my life see me for me.  I'm old enough now to understand that I shouldn't have to change myself for someone else to like me or to love me.  They should like me for who I am and fall in love with my very essence, not a dimmed version of it. It took my current relationship for me to see that I can just be me and the right person will like... well... me.

I'm smarter than I allow myself to be, and more outgoing than I allow myself to be because I put myself into the box of what people expect from me.

So I'm here to tell each and every person I can, just drop the mask and be yourself.  Each and every of us was put here to change the world in some shape, form or fashion.  But you can't change the world if you're too busy changing yourself to be someone you're not for other people.  Just take the time to find out who you really are and let other people see that too.  You never know who you may meet, and who is really meant to be in your life if you're hiding.  You don't need to hide anymore.
