Only You Can Define Yourself

Recycling some old stuff I've written elsewhere before, but it seems relevant. Also, my life is a lot of nothing right now:

Only You Can Define Yourself.

Only you have the power to define yourself, your worth, what you feel and what you decide. No one else can tell you those things. No one else can write those definitions.

And sooner you realize it, the better off you’ll be.

I am what I am, and I become what I decide to become. Each action I take is of my own free will, each attribute of me is me only.

We go through life wanting to please others, wanting to conform to other standards, not wanting to hurt or offend with our image. We elect to fit in rather than stand out, because it makes others happy to be One - unchanging, conformist, ‘comfortable’, safe. But these, like many other concepts, are as subjective as the meanings given to them.

I am me, I can’t be explained easily, but I refuse to feel bad about it anymore.
