“Just be yourself. Let people see the real, imperfect, flawed, quirky, weird, beautiful, magical person that you are.” – Mandy Hale
Just be yourself, the most common advice one can give and receive. Oscar Wilde once said: “Be yourself; everyone else is already taken”. Therefore, just be yourself and prove to yourself how unique and creative your life is.
Being yourself will always help you find how strong and special you are. Be yourself not to prove anything to anyone, but to be faithful and sincere enough to give yourself a life you deserve with no regrets.
Just be yourself because time spent being someone else will count as nothing at the end of the journey. Later, you will realize that the sweetest memories in your life were always the ones that were real and sincere. Then, you will regret being drawn into a life you weren’t playing the main role in because you were not the real you.
Life is always forcing us to make decisions, take actions, and even think in a way that’s very different from what kind of person we already are. That’s because the roads out there are not straight-lined and our minds are just trying to deal with that.
To discover yourself, you need to know that you are what you live daily and what you’ve been living all your life so far. You are those sweet memories you have and the painful ones as well. All struggles you endured throughout the past years are making the character exists right now.
It all adds up. No person has ever lived an easy life because nothing is effortless in this world. While trying your best to go forward chasing your dreams, you may have lost yourself several times. Being changed all the time is an unchangeable fact you’re facing.
However, who is the person you are right now? Is he the one full of anger, resentment, roughness, worries, insecurities, and feelings of self-worthless? Or is he the person whose heart is still full of peace, kindness, warm feelings, joy, and sincerity towards everything and everyone? Or maybe you are the one who is going back and forth about being this and that; traces of negativity along with some positivity are making you who you are.
Be yourself, and don’t stop at this point. Make it a stepping stone to making your character even better, improving your life skills, and being a better person.

SMiLes Dear Chaymaa Indeed
Seeking Finding Authentic
Self So Deep Within to Be
i Am And So Hard to Find
And Do With So Little
Space in a Day
For Introspecting
Bringing Deepest
Contemplating of
SoUL WiTHIN
To Come
Out Free
And Live As the
Authentic me Deepest
Within to See And Be Yes So Free
For At Least For me i Will Surely Admit
The Only me i Knew For Decades is the
Work i Did For Pay For When Anyone
Asked me What i had Been Doing
All i Had in Reply to Make
The Reply
Seem
Longer
And Perhaps
Deeper About
Me is Repeating
The Word Working
Yes Working Working
That’s All i Did Then
That Seemed Like
me With SMiLes
And It’s True
Some Men
in the Military
i Worked Around
Were Terrified of Going
on Retirement As They Had
No Clue Who They Would be
Without Their Navy Career
They Based Their
Whole Worth
On A UniForm
to Wear Delivered
By Someone Over
Lording Them Over
Soul Within Still to Find And Set Free…
As So Many Sages of the Ages Do Relate
Look Within And It’s Kinda Nice To Feel and
Sense Who We aRe Free Head to Toes with
A Free Dance Now And It’s Kinda Nice to
See And Feel Our Deepest Sentiments
Come to Words of Free Verse Poetry
Too Yes So Authentic
So Deep So
Really
Real
Away from
Just A Day

Someone Else mY FRiEnD..:)
