I love this quote because it's hard to remind yourself when your with friends or with others your now meeting to simply be yourself. I myself am guilty of trying to fit in or change certain aspects of my personality to avoid feeling disliked and left out. However, I've learned to realize that if you feel the need to change yourself for people, they aren't worth putting time and effort into because they aren't benefiting you in any way. Hiding your true personality will hold you back from many opportunities expressing your personality and even meeting amazing people that share similarities that you were hiding. So I hope that this quote can benefit you in some way in your life and I hpe you can share it to help others. Have a great week!
