Then Maybe

jo

If I could be
Louder
Prettier
More confident
Less careful

If I could be
Skinnier
Happier
More excited
Less conservative

Then maybe
I’d be better
But maybe
I’m just better
Being me

    Very true, being you is your great charm. You have to be happy in your skin!!

      'being you is your great charm' - well said 🙂

      Oh, I've had a lifetime of being as you describe. But it wasn't me, it was just those around me who I was foolish enough to want to be alike.
      Many years later I look back upon the years to see i didn't miss out on much. I did it my way. I'm grateful for what I am, what I have, what I can do.

        I think you are right - but if at anytime you wanted to change, then let it be for you.
        A neat little write, Jo

          thank you Dave - yes, change can still be a welcome thing, just keep motives in check 🙂
