Reflections and Lessons
Just Be You Boo
We all have expectations of ourselves and others. In many instances it is a function of being a part of society, filling the roles that have been structured for survival of the community. I don’t know about you dear friend, but, the expectation to be some one other than who I am has been an influence throughout my entire life. Either to present a more professional presence, be more fun and impulsive (I tend to be serious and introspective in nature), to be more outgoing with new people, more forthcoming in large groups of people or to not be sooooooo sensitive. These are some of the areas I have often fallen short in, receiving criticism and judgement consistently through my life, to the point I believed that who I was was not okay. I believed I needed to be someone else and so I changed as best as I could.
