I've noticed as you grow older it takes much focus and persistence to become more who you truly are. Many people, especially in today's day and age, tend to want to become someone or something that is totally foreign to there experiences and existence. Whether it be from television, society or whatever conveying that its better to be another image or character other than yourself. Many of us have tried it. They say "Imitation is the highest form of flattery" but it just may be "Imitation is the highest form of humility". You are destroying what is in all essence you by imitating. People also tend to think that something outside of them is going to make them feel whole. Which is totally not the case. Who you are is what is inside of you, its up to you to capitalize on it and show it to the world. Many of us are held back by a fear (I know you are probably saying "I'm not afraid of nothing") a fear of failing, a fear of succeeding, a fear of being hurt, alone, etc. Once you decide to take action on that fear and face it that is when all those worries will leave and you will start to feel pressure lift and a abundance of happiness enter your life. Now is the time for you to express yourself to the world without the fear of acceptance, because in the end the people that have known you already understand you and have known your true self from experiences they have shared with you, so it won't have to be explained. You can't wait, because its not a process, it IS YOU, and waiting is just stalling and suppressing your being. The ones who don't understand are just limiting themselves, they will eventually embrace you being you and work on being their true self or fade away. Spending time with others who can express themselves, and conversations with different view points/ perspectives can lead to even more growth and learning in your life. Its just up to you to do it now and embrace yourself and others with an open mind. Be open minded with every decision you face and those situations will be looked at as neutral, your true self can make the outcome a positive one.
