The importance of being yourself is highly overated.
How many times have you heard someone say "Just be yourself"
What the fuck? Why does the world have self help books, motivational speakers, and weight watchers if its ok for us to just be yourself.
The world asks us to change on a daily basis. Drive this car, use this product, get thin ... blah blah blah. We are bombarded with with things that we are asked to change.
So we stop drinking coffee because its bad for us, even though we love it. Is that being yourself?
I color my hair, put on makeup, try on more flattering clothes ... all to be more accepted, to CHANGE myself. To make myself better somehow.
As if the color of hair and skin and eyes that God adorned me with are not good enough.
Just be myself. Yeah.
Hopeless
I've was trying far too hard
To be what I thought I should be
I was playing wild cards and
Seeing things that weren't in front of me
Like a little tiger, play fighting,
I was hurting myself, again and again
