Be Yourself :)

Finally, I have the time to write my story! Here it goes... I was a happy-go-lucky kid. Quite fun type. I enjoyed dancing and singing. I loved entertaining the crowd when we had house parties. But as I grew, I became more quiet, preferred to stay in my own comfort zone with few of my selected loved ones. I gradually stopped being myself. Until now, I can't figure out why I stopped being myself. Was it because of depression? Or was I worried about what others were talking about me? People always say that kids are naive, and pure. Well, I think it is because they are being themselves. They do what they like without hurting anyone else. But as we grow up, we start being someone else to please others. We start faking everything, from a smile to the way we live. I always pleased others without thinking because I never wanted to hurt them. I do get annoyed and frustrated. At the same time, I can't go on without helping them. Sometimes, it's not worth-it, but yet we do it. The more I stopped being myself, the more I felt empty, anxious, lost and depressed. I often felt that I was good for nothing, and there was no point of living this life. It definitely took me years to realize that I have a beautiful life, and I should start being myself in order to live my life. Now, slowly I do whatever I like, I try to smile a lot. I talk to strangers, smile at them, spend more time understanding myself. Whenever I accomplish something, I give myself a small treat. It is to show that I love being myself and I respect that. I won't say that I don't get anxious or depressed at all. I still do. Whenever I fall into that dark hole, I will remind myself to fight back and find a way to get out of it. It is not easy, but if you love yourself, then you have to do it. Until now, I'm a Disney kid. Never stopped being one. And, that's me. There are people who label me as a 'grown kid'. I used to be sad. But not anymore. I just feel sad for them as they are not being themselves. Remember, don't lose yourself for others. It is good to change, but never forget to be yourself. Being yourself will boost your self-esteem, and strength. Be yourself, and you will know how beautiful you can be :)

Have a lovely night! And a great week readers :D
