own identity.

I can not stress enough how important and crucial it is for everyone to be their own person. Having self-respect and positive inner thoughts about yourself, is the best thing you can ever do for yourself. It has changed me as a person, and I myself didn't master this until a week or so ago, but I can definitely tell the differences on the inside and outside.

Girls and guys, who don't have self respect, act a way that isn't real. They have to be around people, or be dating someone, or be all over someone and making themselves believe others enjoy it. When in reality, you just look more pathetic.

Being your own person is huge. This life isn't about finding out who you are, it's about creating who you are. So i think it's the most important thing in life, to create the person you want to be. Wear different kinds of clothes that fit your personality or taste, listen to different types of music that you can relate to and feel, and lastly, laugh. Laugh all the time and smile sooo brightly, because that shows the most confidence in someone. Confidence is attractive and appealing, so show it off.

Most girls/guys don't know who they are or what their own identity actually is. Life is about creating it, not searching for it. Anyone can do it, and that's how you remain happy.

Also, if you cannot make yourself happy, and you have to constantly be around people to help you do so? Figure that out quick. Being alone isn't always bad, it gives you time to reflect, think, and take a deep breathe. I have learned recently, that the thoughts you think when you're alone, don't always have to be bad. They can be positive and reassuring too!

So for your own good, be someone unique. Be yourself, no one else. Because you are the only person who can tell you to do things and what decisions to make. And bad decisions will happen, but learn from your mistakes and regrets. Don't EVER let someone bring you down.

You are your own leader, so lead the way.
