About This Quote
When we're young, we're taught to believe in the adages that we must always be nice and to be good in order to get what we want. We hear it all the time: Be gentle with others and treat them nicely. Be good and kind and people will like you. But the truth is, we don't grow up in a vacuum; we grow up in a world filled with other people's views of what is "right" and "good." So when we try to be someone that we think other people want us to be, or when we try to be what everyone else wants us to be, we end up trying too hard and failing to be who we really are.
And when that happens, our lives are empty of being real. When you write honestly, you're being yourself. It's just who you are.
And it's okay for you to show your real self.
