To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment. Ralph Waldo Emerson.
There is so much pressure these days to measure up to certain arbitrary beauty standards, modes of behaviour, roles etc. It would be so easy to just bow to all that pressure and fit in, but the world would be worse off. If we all strive to be the same, wouldn't that be so boring? We all have so much to contribute and each contribution is unique. So be your own colourful authentic self, no matter what the world wants you to be.
Such richness in this post - beautifully done!
