be yourself?

thinking again...

it's not only hard to find out who you are.
it's not only hard to change the way you are - which is EXTREMELY hard.

it's actually hard to BE yourself.
not because you don't know who you are.
not because you don't like who you are.

it's hard to just be the way you are. this is not about judging yourself- it's about BEING yourself, always and everywhere.

why is it so difficult?

why do i find it so hard to stay close to myself in difficult situations, even though i know that i'm more likeable if i am myself - not trying to hide/mask/disappear behind a wall of words?

is this really about not being self-confident, about not liking oneself?

i'm not so sure...
