All at once it occurs to me that I'm the one who needs to give myself the break, to accept myself for who I am.

About This Quote

Giving yourself a break is something that you should do when you are tired of trying to change yourself or meet other people's expectations. You are the only one who can change who you are, but it takes effort. The people around you have expectations of you and if you don't feel like following them, then fine. Just give yourself a break and be who you want to be, not what others want. Being yourself is more than just being happy with yourself, it’s having the courage to be true to who you are, even if that means letting go of the expectations of others.
