changing

Being different is hard but it also can’t be helped. Some try to change so drastically that it doesn’t suit them at all. They alter their personality so that it fits another group’s preference. But I ask, “Is it really worth all the trouble and time?” There are already people who like you for who you are, why risk it and change? Many people say they won’t change for anyone. They say they’re ok with who they are. When I look at them, I can’t seem to recognize who they are. Falling to peer pressure is the same. You might not think you’re changing but others can see what you can’t. The bystanders witness the good and the bad that come to you. It’s how you react to them that are important. Don’t expose yourself to others who don’t respect themselves or you. But then not all changes are bad. The changes that better you won’t be looked down upon but admired.
