About This Quote

With the spread of conformity and image-driven superficiality, the allure of an individuated woman in full possession of herself and her powers will prove irresistible. We were born for plenitude and inner fulfillment. This quote is by J.D. Salinger.

It is interesting to see how this quote fits many women today, however, it is also very true for men as well. I believe that we are all born with our own unique talents and talents that make us unique, but the world wants us to conform to be like everyone else. With the rise of social media, people are quick to judge others on what they look like or who they are related too.

When you feel you have made a mistake, there is no shame in admitting it or regretting it because you can just change who you are on social media. A person with true confidence knows that their mistakes are just that - mistakes, not something they need to be ashamed of because everyone makes mistakes now and then. This quote implies that we were actually meant to be themselves and there is an inner fulfillment in being so.
