Stop trying to be less of who you are. Let this time in your life cut you open and drain all of the things that are holding you back.

About This Quote

The idea of trying to be less of who you are is a really dangerous one. When we try to change ourselves for the sake of changing how we’re perceived, we end up with a person that is not true to their core self. You can say that you’re doing this to make other people love and accept you but deep down inside you know that this is not true. The truth is that the only way to truly love and accept yourself is to be yourself. There’s no need to change yourself or even try to be someone else; you only need to become the person you were always meant to be.
