Being Yourself

As time goes on and it does .... on and on with no rewind button 

I'm becoming surer (not sure that's really a word) of an essential certainty. 

I need to be myself - the real true me because there's no one else that I can be. 

It's taken a while to get to that point ... which seems a bit ridiculous, I mean really who can I be but me? 

But I think the reality of it is that sometimes, maybe many times, we try to "fit" in.  Mould ourselves to not offend, to blend in and not stand out from the crowd, to not be the voice of dissent. 

I know I've done that and done it often.  I've thought - it's easier to "go along" and not express my real view.  Partly because I hold very strong opinions and sometimes I know that I put people off because I'm dead sure of where I am at heart and what I believe ....... except of course that I'm guilty of hiding it at times. 

It isn't the worlds worst thing to do this - after all there's no need to turn social occasions into something awkward.  But as time goes on I think that on the essentials - I need to not mould it and meld it - I need to stand up and be me! 

Hope you can all do the same.  

Happy Tuesday folks.
