"Finding Myself"

Claudia George's picture
Have you ever asked yourself, "Why does it take so long for people to find themselves?" Have you ever thought that maybe-just maybe-"finding yourself" is a waste of time? Have you ever thought that you actually don't need to "find yourself"? Maybe you are who you need to be already. The fact that you are just trying to live up to the expectations of how other people think you should be if holding you back from you truly being yourself. No one has to "find themselves." That is just a stupid excuse thrown around by immature, self-concious people who are afraid to be who they really are. You were born the person you were suppose to be. No one can change that. Just be happy with yourself. The reason why people are so self'conscious is because they listen to other self-conscious people who are unhappy with themselves tell them how they should act, look, feel, weigh, etc. And honestly...it's pathetic. If people cannot love you at your worst...they do not deserve you at your best. If they cannot love you for your imperfections...then they do not deserve you at the times you are perfect. Take this from me...I spent a huge chunk of my life trying to measure up to all people wanted to to act, look, talk, etc. like. I decided no one knows what's best for me but me. No one can tell you how to be except for you. You are who you are...and that's all you can ever be. THIS IS ME.... ~I'M GOOFY ~I'M A DORK ~I LOVE TO COOK AND I DO THAT EXTREMELY WELL ~I HAVE MY SLOW MOMENTS-LOL ~I'M FILLED WITH PASSION AND AMBITION ~I LOVE ALL WHO LOVE ME ~I'M A BOOK WORM ~I LOVE LEARNING ~I'M ATHLETIC ~I SING ~I DANCE ~I'M CURIOUS ~I AM REALLY SENSITVE WHEN IT COMES TO MATTERS OF THE HEART AND MY DAD ~I WISH THERE WAS PEACE ALL AROUND THE WORLD ~I HATE BEING SICK ~I HAVE HAD MY HEART BROKEN ~MOST OF MY FRIENDS ARE GUYS TAKE ME OR LEAVE ME. BECAUSE I WILL BE ME WITH YOU IN MY LIFE OR NOT.

You are right I feel the same way about most of what you said. Accept me 100 percent or do not accept me at all. Really, what am I supposed to do with the part of me YOU do not like. If I am going to change any part of me it has to be for me not you. I have to be happy with me first. You can not measure up to what others want you to be do it for yourself or you will not be happy.
