About This Quote

We all want to fit in and be normal, but we forget that we are not. We all have different personalities and we can express it in different ways, but we should never lose who we are to fit in with others. We should be proud of who we are and not let other people dictate what our personality is. The worst thing that could happen if we did that is that we end up losing out on expressing our true selves because of other people’s expectations.
