Be yourself and the world will adjust

Be you. The world will adjust. A true friend and romantic partner loves you for who you really are. Not who they want you to be. They embrace your quirks and you theirs. Love yourself, truly and deeply.

You do not need to apologize for who you are, how you look, what you like and what you want to do with life. You cannot please everyone. Do the best you can for everyone around you — but do not lose yourself in the process. If you listen to what the world around you has to say — and you allow that to rob you of your originality and uniqueness, then you have not shown faith in yourself. Certain scenarios in your life will test you — it is just to see if you will buckle under pressure. Allow what is out there to make you better, informed, equipped, and refreshed — but do not let it take away your uniqueness. Do not let the world define you.
