I am not
who I think I am... I am not who others think I am. Sometimes I may try to
be the person that I think other people think I am, but I am not here to live up to
their expectations. I am not here to live up to anyone's expectations -
not even my own. I'm just here. No worse, or better, than anyone else.
Just different, unique, like a sunset.
There is a sunset every single day but no two are ever
identical. They are all beautiful, even when they are not being
appreciated by anyone. Like the sunset, I want to give the best of myself every
day, whether appreciated or not, because I know that what I think of
myself is more important than what other people think of me.
I cannot control what other people think or do but I can
control my own thoughts and actions. I try to remember never to be ashamed
of what is said about me, whether it is true or not. I try to treat others exactly the way
I would like to be treated by them. I forgive myself for my ignorance and
I forgive others for theirs, too. I will always try to be like the sunset
and bestow my best on
the world, without worrying about whether the world notices my efforts or
not. That way, if I am not actually making the world a better place, I
will at least not be making it a worse one.
