"You Can Be So Beautiful When You Are Who You Are"

Gil Scott Heron speaks that absolute truth in that quote. People dont realize that being themselves...being true to themselves....makes all the difference. If you think you have to change for someone...put your dreams, values, personality, ect. on the back burner while you become someone else in order to satisfy another person or a group of people...you are only hurting yourself. I watch people change for other people in order for that person to notice, show interest, or even talk to them...or do things other people do in order to reap the benefits that that person may get/ have. Let them be them...you be you...what is right for them may not be what is right for you. Be happy with what you have...be happy with who you are. I say...if those people or that person doesnt like or notice you when you are who you are....then they do not and will not genuinely care about you or love you. When you love yourself and care about yourself enough to be yourself ...you can be the most beautiful person...inside and out. Its true. Self confidence, self respect and love go a long way...it starts with ourselves though...and once you have it...someone else can have confidence in you...respect you....love you...and care about you.
