We spend so much of our life trying to be accepted/fit in. Starting in elementary school, middle school, high school and into the workforce. We are always trying to please people, or conform ourselves to who we think they want us to be. We have all been there. I have done it with past relationships, and until a few years ago, my mother. All we end up doing is making ourselves miserable, and I believe in being our authentic selves. We will never be who people want us to be, someone is always going to be unhappy/find something wrong about you. Once you accept yourself, you dont have to worry about pleasing others, or if you are playing the 'role' correctly. It is so important to live your life for yourself, because there will be a time when those people aren't here anymore, whether the relationship has fizzled away, or their time has come. And you never want to look back and think that you have wasted your time, by living a life that wasn't true to yourself. Once you accept all your flaws and positive things about yourself, you don't need acceptance from others. There is only one you int he world, and for you to waste it, would be a shame.
