we've been conditioned by our society & culture to believe that it is far more important to be liked and to fit in, than it is to be who we truly are. there is no such thing as ''perfection'' when it comes to being ourselves. we have to strive to make the dumbest choices and to make mistakes in order for us to lead to our authentic self. til this day, i am still growing and learning to be at a place where i can actually be myself, and where i couldn't give less of a f*ck of what others perspectives are of me. life is too precoius and to fragile to begin that stressing journey to please others and to later be disrespected.
