Well, these days, I have been surrounded by people who have this certain need to be liked by everyone. They change their hair, they pierce their skin, they go on special diets and laugh on jokes they don't even understand. I don't get why people do this. Why they have this certain need of feeling so accepted by others that they are willing to loose themselves and give up who they are.
If I were to become someone like that, It would probably feel like being trapped in the skin of a person that isn't even vaguely me. I get it. It's nice to feel accepted and wanted by someone but is it even fair if the person they end up being around is not even 'you'. I believe that everyone is special in unusual ways and always have something to be loved for. And I always feel that it is better to be hated for who you are than to be loved for what you are not. Why change and loose yourself for someone who can't see how special and extraordinarily wonderful you are.
Instead be around the people who see the good in you. Who love for your little imperfections. Who want to be with you despite whatever happened in your past. Find someone who'll love your hair even when you were having a bad hair day. Find someone who wouldn't care if you were too skinny or too chubby. Find someone who'll tell you that you look beautiful even if you are wearing an old sweatshirt. And if that person is not around just yet, then wait for them. They might just be right around the corner, waiting to make your life perfect.
People think that the most painful thing in life is loosing someone you love but according to me, the truth is, that the most painful thing is loosing yourself for someone who will never love you for who you are and make you forget that you're special too.
