What you think when you hear the words “be yourself”
I think it means sticking to your beliefs, views, and passions in life without minding what others think of you. It’s giving no damn, no fuck, no time for people who will crush you and destroy you for being… you.
Being yourself also implies, I believe, that you should be truthful to yourself. If you don’t like a certain thing but everyone else likes it doesn’t mean you should force yourself to like it. If you like a certain thing but everyone hates/doesn’t like it doesn’t mean you should stop liking it. You’re you, and getting influenced with stupid opinions will be such a waste.
When I hear those two words, I feel motivated. I feel raised up by some positive force and a voice tells me that there will be people in the near future who will want to be me because I’m me. I have this craving of changing the world someday soon (I think I mention this all the time) and I know that being myself will help me get there.
