be you

You shouldn't change yourself for him. Or for her. Change because you want to, or because you want to improve yourself. Not because you're in love with the idea of pleasing her, or because you're not confident enough in who you are, or because you're looking for approval. If YOU want to change yourself, go ahead. Grow. Move forward. But if you're molding yourself around another person, you'll never know who YOU are because you've been busy making yourself as malleable as possible. Love. Live. Do it. But as you love and live your life, don't forget that you're an individual and that you deserve to be your own template. If all you do is adapt yourself to those around you, who are you really? A combination of different people just combined into one simplified version?
