You and yourself

          It would probably be normal to start of with an introduction of some sort, but I'm not good at that, so instead, I'm going to start off with a story.

          There once was a group of friends, who loved doing anything and everything. They didn't care about what other people said about them as long as they were happy. Everyday you'd see them going around, just laughing and smiling about everything under the sun. 


          They were pushed away by many, they were considered outcasts, but what? Nothing. No one even dared to talk to them, until one day, a curious individual approached them and asked, "What is with you all? Don't you care that you're being pushed around? Doesn't it bother you that no one likes you guys?" The group just laughed and one of them stepped forward. 


          "They might not like us, but we like us. We're happy with who we are, we do what we want, and we've got each other." He said simply. "What's the point in trying to fit in and be normal when you aren't happy? You may not like us, but we're happy, and that's more than enough."

          It's a pretty sappy story, if you ask me. Most people who would read this would most probably think that it's pretty lame, but my point is, many of us are misunderstood. We are judged based on our appearances, what we do, what we like, and what pleases us. Others even lie to themselves, pretending to be someone else just to fit in, but what? Ask them if they're happy. They gain friends, sometimes even fans. They become popular and people think they're pretty cool. But is that really who they are? It's better be yourself and be happy, than to pretend to be someone you're not just to gain popularity, but deep down, there is this longing. You're longing to let it out. The person you want to be is locked away, somewhere.


          The point is, being you is like the most important thing ever. Why look for people who won't accept you for who you are? Be yourself and let people come to you. There's bound to be someone who will love you and accept you for who you are. You just have to wait. Remember, you were brought into this world for a purpose, and that purpose is NOT, and I repeat, NOT to please everyone. Your mother didn't give birth to you just to raise you to make you please everyone, no. According to "KUSHANDWIZDOM", one of the biggest challenges in life is to be yourself in a world that is trying to make you like everyone else. Yes, that's true, that is why you have to fight. You know what they say, "The struggle is real." but once you get the hang of it, everything will fall into place.

          You were brought into this world to love and be loved, to be who you are, to stand out, to chase your dreams, and just be yourself. God is giving us the privilege to be who we want to be, why would you even allow some mere human to take that away from you?
