It's so easy to hide who we really are. To most of us, it's so easy to try to fit in than letting people know who we really are. In today's society, so many people pretend to be someone they're not. If you're reading this right now and are afraid to show the real you because of what people would think, then listen to me. It's better to show someone the real side of you rather than hiding yourself. Open that curtain girls, show them what they've all been missing...
I was always the girl who worried about what others thought of me. I was the girl that always thought that I had to "fit in" or I wouldn't be cool enough. I always thought that if I couldn't able to fit in, everybody would judge me. When you're in high school, it's all about the "popular kids". The kids who got anything and everything, the kids who everyone wanted to be. Everybody, once in their life, has tried to fit in some way.
To the girl who was afraid to be herself:
Why? Why were you always looking at them? Why were you always trying so hard to fit in and not being who you truly were? Why were you so afraid to let the real, crazy, energetic, funny, beautiful, caring girl out? Why were you always so hard on yourself? Why didn't you appreciate yourself more?
Look at those questions and answer them. Why did you do all those things? Maybe was it because you didn't know who you truly were yet? Or was it because you wanted to be "the cool kid" in the grade? Why did it matter so much to you?
You, yes you, need to put yourself out there. Show the world the crazy, caring, funny, and beautiful girl that you are. Stop hiding her from everybody. Everybody would love her! If they don't, well, it's their loss. Yes, everyone's not going to like you and that's okay. Let her out; learn to love her and not to hide her.
