"No man, for any considerable period, can wear one face to himself, and another to the multitude without finally getting bewildered as to which may be the true."
--Nathaniel Hawthorne--
"You cannot belong to anyone else until you belong to yourself."
--Pearl Bailey--
Recently, I have been having thoughts about identity and how so many people really do not know who they are. With these thoughts, I have found that the lack of knowledge and love for yourself and the desire to be accepted or be like someone else is the downfall to so many people and the cause to many of their problems. The most difficult battle and the sweetest victory we can ever have in life is the battle we have with ourselves and knowing who we are as people and being happy with that. When we are able to accept who we are and are willing to never change to be accepted by others, we will experience the greatest happiness and success in life.
