That's what they say. Yes, there are a heck of a lot of they's, but thank God I'm an I. I am a single person with only a sole outlook. No matter how much I wish to imitate or conform to the standard or the next person in line, I will always hold to my own opinion, push forward with my own intentions and stand behind my own personal motives.
The A-B-C version of that is called being yourself.
It's no easy task, spare the thousands of subliminal messages marred on TV screens and magazine covers.
Forget the old cliche of how horribly difficult life is. Remember? You can always be yourself. Spare the fake looks and false advertising and really sit there and think for just a moment of what life would really be like if you were always your true self in every situation.
It's scary, isn't it?
How accepting would your loved ones even be? After all is said and done and the cards are scattered across the table, it's a deafening line to cross when every intention and true motive of self is revealed.
We analyze ourselves and justify our mistakes. We question our motives, hide our true feelings, and display the best possible picture of who we are. That is what the world sees, because that is what we offer the world.
Imagine if the world were filled with people who not only revealed their secrets but acted them out. Would it be a chaotic earth or every Miss America's version of world peace?
I wonder. But all is hypothical when life and the world is looked at through a faded glass. This life offers only one look, and that look is far from accurate. How can we analyze the truth when we don't even know how to be it?
I am responsible for my actions and my words to other people. But I'm also responsible for my thoughts, my feelings, my motives, and my inner passions that dissolve into lust or love or hate or pride.
It's a relief to not be they. It's even a greater burden to be an I.
Who is your worst enemy?

After all this, there is only one thing to say: Have reverence for God, and obey his commands, because this is all that we were created for. ECCLESIASTES 12:13 TEV
Thanks for commenting. I'm not really sure if what you said had anything to do with my post, but I enjoyed reading your profile and personal testimony. Praise God there are more Christians online who are not ashamed to share the truth with others!
