I don’t want to change myself for the expectations of people around me; I don’t want to act like an innocent person just to say that I’m good. Just be real as being you…you know why? It’s better to hate me for who I am than to love me for whom I pretend to be, or who you want me to be,I was once afraid of people saying, “Who does she think she is?” Now I have the courage to stand and say, “This is who I am,  am someone who gives far more than I have ever received, I love freely and deeply, My compass in life is my heart and soul, if they steer me wrong , that's ok. Mistakes in life are what shapes and molds us into the person we are. For me that is one that accepts others unconditionally as they are and I wish others would do the same for me  more often.
