It’s so easy to get caught up in existence. The daily struggle to be who everyone wants and thinks you should be. You’ve probably gotten used to keeping up appearances but slowly, the real you fades away. Maybe it’s a tough call or a choice you have to make due to things that have happened to you or the benefits you gain from the dual appearances.
Maybe it’s OK; you wear those shoes and know better where it hurts. In all you do, always remember the real you; the kind, selfless, soft, loving you. That you you return to in the dead of the night when no one is around. That you casting a reflection when you stare at the mirror.
Remember, not everyone loves the sweet taste of apples or the tart taste of pineapples. Not everyone will like you for who you are. No one is perfect so live in your true form. People will come and go but the true ones stay. In all you do, don’t forget to live, love, cry, explore, laugh and be happy.

Awesome piece thank you for this motivation
This is such a beautiful and very encouraging piece. Thank you, Edima. ❤️
I love this write up and hope everyone can read and have a rethink about what life really is. However, all this depends on ones values, discipline and beliefs but the real you will one day be in front of you no matter how you fake the life.
Thank you for the encouragement! We’re not tired of doing what’s right always!
Life is really exhausting for anyone who wants to live up to other peoples’ expectations! It’s possible to forget about who you are, in the course of trying to satisfy others & be who they want you to be, & not who you really are!
This is honest. The truth is we all try to conform because standing out from the crowd is a difficult thing to do. You will be mocked, scorned and maybe denied what is rightfully yours. But I like this quote from Leo Howard “Being confident is the key to life. Don’t be afraid to be you! I’m super different from a lot of kids my age with style and personality, and I’m OK with it. And if you are OK with it, everyone else will be, too. Just be yourself.” Have a good day.
