Another façade another human—

Fitting in can be important, and there should be a part of you that seeks to fit in. It’s essential. But both you and I need to find the balance between fitting in and being true to yourself.

We need to stop sacrificing so much personally to fit in with others who also are wearing a mask. Especially if you are young, you are so susceptible to this, just like I am still. Being you is scary but is so beneficial to you and those who surround themselves with you.

Be great, inspire individuality, and forget group identity. Go create something that makes you happy and the lives of others a little more pleasant. We teach children that everyone is incredible in their own little way, so it’s time we prove it. Tackle it, one step at a time.
