Be Your True Self

What’s up with dating now a days? Quite a confusing game isn’t it? I mean what’s up with acting like you’re perfect just to impress another human being? Why can’t we just be our true selves (weirdness, quirks, flaws & all) and just meet that person who will love us based on that not who we are pretending to be. That’s just me but I think it would avoid a lot of heart ache if people stopped putting up a mask and were transparent about who they are. I tell you from experience! For many years, I put up a mask and only revealed what I thought people expected from me and was it worth it? NO! I became super bitter towards people, and worst of all to myself. But once I removed that mask, I found people in my life who embraced my full self. Now I’m not currently in a relationship, but I am hopeful that the same sentiment applies. Who cares if you’re weird or loud or funny or a bit more quirky than others, be you because that in itself is beautiful. Someone will see your true beauty and if they don’t, they’re aren’t for you, trust me!

I wanted to write this because I come across so many people who have this mask up and then are afraid to lose people when they decide to show their true selves to the world. But why?! Take off all that pressure off of yourself and be you from the first moment you encounter someone. So what if you have a dark past? Who doesn’t have a past! Be you!!!! Be your own kind of beautiful because you are one of a kind. There’s no one else in this entire world or universe like you so why not reveal the gift of yourself to the world.

Hope this is encouraging to someone out there!!

Know your Worth, Be YOU because YOU are Beautiful & YOU are One Of a Kind!
