Be true to yourself

We live in a day of age where many people live out of fear of being alone. A world full of people catering to others' needs, regulating others' emotions, and maybe even acting in a certain way so that others will like them.

And I ask myself, has this always been the case - or are people trying to become more and more the same? Instead of embracing our rough edges, we hide them. But in reality, the chinks in our armor are what make us unique. It's important to be kind, but the best way to act is to be kind in telling the truth and being honest with yourself and others, even when it's uncomfortable.
