Staying true to oneself.

Hello, everyone.

I welcome you to my blog. At a point in our lives we all had to compromise to fit in; we had to, in a way, change and drop our true habits just to fit in and be accepted, but in most cases compromising and changing who you are just to fit in is the wrong thing to do. Most times, dating to stand out is how you win; that is how you achieve great things, but many do not know that, and they go ahead dropping their original self to pick up a version of themselves that is not even authentic just so a group of people or a person will accept them.

The truth is that as long as you are doing the right thing, you know you are on the right path, and the character you possess will help you achieve great things, so why compromise? Why go around dropping something that can help you achieve greatness just to fit in, just to be accepted by a group? Most of the time we do this not even for things that will actually benefit us, but just because we want to be friends with someone or be seen in a group, we go ahead and drop a character that can help people rise to greatness just for a friendship that in the end will in no way benefit us.

Sometimes we make the mistake of thinking displeasing ourselves to please others is how we earn favor from people, forgetting that it is impossible to please people. No matter how hard you try, you can drop all the characters you are known for and pick up new ones, and many people will still not be happy you did. Some will talk about it, so instead of compromising, dropping originality to pick up a fake character knowing full well that doing that does not really change anything for humans, why not just stay true to yourself, and those who will accept you will accept you for who you are and not for the fake person you have become.

I stopped trying to fit or change who I am to fit the moment I realized you cannot please humans. You can go to hell and back, and humans will question that, so instead of dropping a character or changing who you are to fit in or be accepted, just be you. Humans will always criticize; they will always have something to say no matter how hard you try. The only way to handle and deal with humans is by staying true to yourself.
