Who You Are

Have you ever looked into a mirror and said to yourself "I wonder what people think of me?" I have and sometimes I wonder why some people can hate me when all I do is try to be the person I know I am. But still I keep on living and hoping that one day everyone will see who I truly am and see all I'm trying to do is be me.

If you are the type of person who keeps to themselves in fear that no one will like you or respect you, unlock that door, show your uniqueness. You may be that diamond waiting to be discovered, but you won't know that until you announce yourself.

We all have heroes, people that we love and respect and want to be like. Wanting to base who we are to a role model is a start, but you still have to have character traits that you can call your own. Remember that you can't be so much like another person that you are more or less a complete duplicate of them. You have to be your own star, so that you can shine out over all the others. When people look at you, you want them to see a bright star that everyone knows has a beautiful inside, no matter what you look like from the outside.

I say be yourself and let your innermost self shine out. There is nothing better you can do then let the whole world know who you are. Each person is different, and each one has qualities that make them unique. Let your specialness be shown. Whether it's listening and always caring or finding the good from bad, you have "one-of-a-kind" traits that need to be known to the world before you can leave here knowing that people loved you for who you were.

I promise you that at least trying to be who you really are will have its rewards. Even if just one person realizes your qualities and lets you know, you have accomplished your goal. And because of this I leave you saying "Always be yourself!"
