Who Are You?

Who are you?

Are you the person I see day to day - with the smile on their face and the perfectly “on-point” outfit?

Are you the person who is always ready to help someone else?

Are you the person who always finds out about another person, but rarely shares about yourself?

Are you the person who goes home, shuts the door, and cries?

Just… who ARE you? And can others see the real you? 

Do you feel free to be yourself? Flaws, insecurities, and all? 

Do you surround yourself with friends who help you flourish? Or friends who continue to make you feel like you have to hide the real you? 

Who are you? Do YOU even know? Have you chiseled away at yourself to be accepted, so that you don’t really know who you are any more?

You are WORTH getting to know. You are worth it, to find out for yourself who you really are.

Find out what YOU like. How YOU feel. What YOU want.  

Even if it means others may stop being your friend.

If no one knows you, no one can understand you. No one can be there for you in your darkest moments.

If no one knows you, no one can really encourage your gifts and talents.

You can’t change your DNA. You can’t change your blood. You are who you are. So be alllll that you are. Rise in it. Let it wrap itself around you.

Be you. 

Be you in the fun moments of life and in the hard.  

Just. Be. You.
