Then just be who you are..

I was watching a marathon of Girls today...it was actually an accident. I've already seen all of the episodes. It's just one of those shows that you can't turn off, even though you already know what's going to happen. I watch too much television. Sometimes the most simple quotes create such an impact. 

 In the process of Hannah attempting to break up with Adam...the complete opposite takes place. As they are kissing, Hannah apologizes for not being the girl he would typically date. His response.."Then just be who you are" and then they continue to kiss. During that moment I paused and asked myself how many times I have apologized in my life for being who I am...and why I would do such a thing. Why was I sorry? 

If someone ever has the nerve to make you feel like you have to apologize for being who you are, then you should apologize for having to delete them from your life instead. Disclaimer: if you are a rapist, killer, bank robber, pathological liar..etc...then okay, maybe you should apologize for being who you are. Just a thought. 

 Your weirdness, your randomness, your beliefs, your dreams, your imagination, your style, your creativity, your passions (or lack there of) will be valued...somewhere. But do not ever apologize for being who you are. Embrace it and surround yourself with those you don't "complete" you..but rather "complement" you. 
Just be who you are.

    Well, I am a liar, but I'm going to take your advice and stop apologizing for being who I am. I'm going to keep lying. Hooray for lies!

      Again: "Disclaimer: if you are a rapist, killer, bank robber, pathological liar..etc...then okay, maybe you should apologize for being who you are. Just a thought."

      I was discussing individuals "positive" qualities, which at times are disguised as negative qualities. If you read the entire post, you would have understood that impression. Thanks for your input though!

      Okay, I apologize for being a liar. I've had a change of heart. I'm going to start telling the truth right now....here goes:

      I think this is a very important blog. I think many people read it. I think you are a good singer. I think your boyfriend is very handsome. I think...

      Oh crap! I can't do it! I can't tell the truth! Well, I guess that's what I get for trying to quit cold turkey, huh?

      Thank you for your opinions..not truths. You may think that I'm a good singer and that my blog is "important"..as it has 2,972 views (including yours)...but that amount is relative-a large amount of views to some people but a small amount to others. ;-)
