Have you asked yourself about the things you've been doing? Is that what you really wanted? What if you are doing that just to please someone? Did you ever consider that you're trying so hard just to be noticed or to have approval? Indeed, society is where we should be but it doesn't mean we need to desperately be part of it. Let the people accept you for who you are but not be like someone to be accepted.

In today's world pretending to be someone is like everyone's mind. In social media, work, and even in the community where you are living in. Fame is the most common thing people want to have. Although it is not wrong especially when we're trying hard to earn, what I'm talking about is the vloggers. Even if they feel like vomiting while performing the act in the video. They decided to swallow for the sake of the audiences that will view and like their videos. Somehow, it's understandable because we all know how much the earnings are.

What concerns me if they are happy having that kind of lifestyle? You can't express what you want to let others know how you are feeling. You can't shout what the words you are trying to say are. Of course, you are afraid of the bad effects that you may have by doing that. You want to suppress your own attitude and not lose your fans, which is your asset in vlogging. The question is, "are you okay with that, or are you happy by doing that?" A simple question but it's hard to answer because of the negative thoughts you're thinking.

What's wrong with being yourself? Do you think if you will just be yourself a lot of people will hate you? First and foremost, whatever you do there are those people who still hate you. That's not a made-up fact but it's the reality and most of us can tell it's not a lie. The reason people are copying or imitating is because of wanting to be known or to be accepted. They are trying so hard to be that person even though it means abandoning their own ideology. It will just be found in their thoughts the words "this is not me, this is not the life I wanted." What can they do, they prioritize themselves not to be left behind, and they think this is the solution.

It takes time before the flower is recognized for its beauty. It takes time before a child can talk, walk, and even hear. Just imagine how the process will take its time before we can enjoy it. The result doesn't happen right away like after you did it or tomorrow. No, we must have the patience to endure the time being alone and not being accepted. If people don't accept you immediately, perhaps they are just knowing you first or trying to figure out what kind of person you are.

In terms of your work, success will not be without sacrifices. In other words, before you can achieve something, you still need to undergo those processes. We all know that a plant or a tree can't bear fruit as soon as possible. Although don't budge because the thing you wanted the most will be in your grasp if you work hard for it. Don't misunderstand, a guava fruit will not bear a mango fruit. It means, what you're working so hard on will always be the thing you expected.

There's no pain in being yourself if you will just understand life widely. Those successful people endure for how many years before they have it. Pretending to be someone is like imprisoning yourself and your happiness. Who likes to be behind bars when they can't freely go outside? Don't underestimate this simple presumption in life because if that yourself of yours will be tired time will come it explodes. It's a waste to make an explosion after you worked so hard.

Just be yourself to avoid conflicts of your happiness and burden in your heart.
