As children we were always taught to be yourself and not worry about what people may think, but into adulthood, we realize this may not be the case. We get to a point where we try to build our platform, but somehow, we get boxed into what society wants us to be or what they want us to represent. We sometimes lose our identity in the process, all while forgetting the valuable lessons we were taught as a child.

Do you want society to represent you, or do you want to own your identity and build your platform on just being you?
