Being True to the Real You

Tweet

I know that growing up I always looked on the outside, looking in, at all the clicks of kids out there. You know, the jocks, the preps, the stoners, the geeks and on and on. I stood out because I didn't find myself into a click. I mingled and matched with quite a few of them instead. Something I hope I have installed into my son. Today, as a grown woman, I see the clicks still out there. Not so much as the jocks, preps and on and on, for adults, but they are there. You see it in the workplace. Again, I mingle with them all. I have friends that are stoners, religious nuts (no offense, I call them that to their face), Pagans, the cheerleader wanna-be still, Goths (but they were the real punk-rockers in my days) and of course, the good ol' rednecks (hey I married one and I was a punker at the time)... So I can proudly say that I have friends of all kinds, have open my heart and mind to all different kinds of cultures/ways of thinking/life...and found that I can still be me amongst them all and still be accepted. So my question to you, are you true to yourself, be who you are without trying to "fit in" with a different group? if not...why?
