Not like I can be anyone else
I am just me. Why is it when people compliment me and I reply with those words and a thank you ....does it upset them?
I'm not trying to put myself down ...I guess I really don't think about it I am just ME. I don't consider " wow I am really good at this" I am just being me. I am happy in my skin. There are things I am good at and things I down right stink at ..they all make up this person who is me.
But it so gets to people ..I get told "why can't you just admit you are (insert whatever you like)". The truth is I just go about the business of being me. I don't try to impress or piss people off ..if I happen to do either than that is their perception.
I was lucky enough to be raised by parents who believed in encouraging individuality, who taught their children no matter what you do, always do the best you can. That it doesn't matter if you come first or last as long as you can say I did the best I could do. To always try and if you fail, at least you know you had tried.
I hear so often " I really want to but what's the use, I'm not good enough" SO WHAT!! How do you know until you try?
We are all " just me " In all the history of the world there was never anyone else exactly like you, and in all the infinity to come, there will never be another you. You are unique.
Believe in yourself, be happy in your skin and encourage those you love to be the same. Remember it is " Just You" that people love.
