I agree with you very much. I think that you should be yourself. & don't let anyone judge you. Because we all are different. & I think the true side of people should show. They should There own person and be them:)

I totally agree with you on this! I can relate to this because I don't care what other people think of me when I'm myself. I don't try to be someone I'm not! This really inspired me! And for that I thank you.

I agree! It is always the best to be yourself. God made you origainal not a copy! So why make yourself one? Me, my self I try to hold on to who i am and not lose it being in the moment, getting caught up in things.

I like this memoir because you shoudnt be someone your not. Be yourself and others will like you for who you are and not what you pretend to be you kno what I mean? Since I've been myself I've gotten more respect. So just be yourself and not what others want you to be.

You are very welcome kryspin. Alexis I'm so glad you said that because that's one of the thing that I need to follow. I'm really bad at remembering that and I appreciate that.

Aron I do know what you mean because I have had the toughest time being myself for the longest time and I finally over came that.

I get what your saying with this six word memoir because it's hard to be your self when you want people to notice you so you put on a mask so you can impress that type of crowd. I too have put on a mask in my life and I feel I still have a mask on because I have not yet found my true self. My question to you is how have you personally taken off you mask and found your true self?

It's funny because so many people can agree with this, but they also have something to say. I can relate to this because I've been pushing everyone away and trying to do it myself. I have never been myself because I have acted like my older brother. In the end he has told me to be myself because everyone else is already taken.

"It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion. It is easy in solitude to live after our own. But the great [woman] is [she] who in the midst of the crowd, keeps with perfect sweetness, the independence of solitude." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Great goal Mary! I think this can be a lifelong process, something that we can keep coming back to when we stray. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you all. And Shawn I have now removed that mask because I know found out who I am by just figuring everything out. When I was put in foster care I was kinda forced to find out who I really am and I indeed found out who I am.
