You hear this quote often. You think, "Wow, yeah, I'm just going to be myself". Have you ever noticed how with your friends you do crazy, silly things that if you were to do with your family you'd be so embarrassed or vice versa? Sometimes I fear rejection. Actually, I do all the time. Why do I rely so much on people to make myself feel good? Sometimes being yourself is easier said than done. Why do we try so hard to impress people? How come it's easier to forget other people's stupid mistakes than it is ours? Why can't we just accept ourselves? Why can't we just forgive ourselves?Why do we always have to wonder if people like us or not? Why can't we just be ourselves?
