I am a strong believer in just being yourself and I have probably written something very similar before now.
I think we live in a society where there is constant pressure to be a certain way and everyday can feel like a competition with other people.
Obviously everyone has the need or want to change certain things about themselves and that's perfectly fine.
But I've discovered that specific things are specific to you as a person and are near impossible to change.
It's absolutely draining trying to change a part of you that's just who you are.
Surely if that's part of your personality or make up then you should embrace it and use it to the best of its ability, instead of trying to squash it down and feeling deflated and drained when no matter how much you try it just won't go away.
We wouldn't say to someone that they absolutely need to alter a physical part of themselves so why is it ok to drag someone down because they are too nice, too quiet or even too funny?
And as cheesy as this sounds, in the words of Jessie J, 'Just be true to who you are'
