To Be
We can gradually drop our ideals of who we think we ought to be, or who we think we want to be, or who we think other people think we want to be or ought to be.

It doesn't matter who they think you are. It matters who you think you are. |

Wow Kevin.
Great quote. It really says alot about the pressure that we put on ourselves and those around us.
I like the way that it takes into account that we just slowly give up when we can't live up to who we want to be, and give up when others aren't who we want them to be.
JEEZ, you're depressing the shit out of me.
ooo i hope so. i really look forward to being a crochety old lady.
But then I end up just having to be me ... oh bollocks
Oh gosh...I am so hard on myself for not being able to be what I think others want me to be. But what or how do I want to be?
Thanks for making me think.
