The person I am is me
I don’t pretend
Pretend to be anything
To be anything I’m not
I will not change for anyone
I am not perfect
But do the best I can
This is me
And if you don’t like
Don’t like what you see
It is not my problem.

What a wonderful statement Andy I truly believe that I should always keep eyes and ears open to what others say but make my own decision as to what I am and do. Well written my friend
Thank you soren, so very true.

Good write Gold. Yes, it is so. Are some (me?) insecure, unsure, needing approval, etc of ourselves at times, that we feel we must fit in with others, as if it is 'my problem'.
But here it is 'This is me - like me or lump me!'.
Thank you Orchi, yes this is me.
Andy
nowadays it is mine too - better to have a smaller circle who thinks like i do, and shares my tastes...
Very true Nafisa, thank you.
Andy
