A conversation I had with a friend last night really left me thinking. The topic was about "being yourself". I agree with what she said. No one can truly "be themself". Everyone's personality, way of thinking, lifestyle, dressing, etc, is influenced in one way or another by other people. They are not born like that. But the term "not being yourself" can also be applied to individuals who are influenced by other people but they are not liking it, but allowing themselves get influenced and hence, they are not "being themselves". So the advice "be yourself" can be given to SOME people while others, it just can't be applied. So the next time I wanna say "be yourself" to someone, I guess I would rephrase it to, "do whatever makes you happy".
PS. I wanna take a poll for everyone who visits this site and actually knows me. Do you think I'm such a happy person. Think about it and comment on it in my tagboard.
Cheers...
