Time and again we all must have been asked to change ourselves to be in line with the people around us and the situations we come across. That being still justified, what I can't understand is why we end up changing ourselves to become appealing to other people and more specifically a single person? Isn't being yourself the virtue in such cases. Or are we supposed to control and modify ourselves every step of the way?
More often than naught, we all must have reached a time when we must have striven to put ourselves out with our best foot forward. I feel that because I have. And though at that time it seems like the right thing to do, I have learnt, the hard way, that it just isn't so. We change ourselves and lose the person that we have always been, eventually losing our individuality and coming at mercy of the other person. And if, in the end, the entire exercise is an effort in futility, we find ourselves lost.
The point that I'm trying to make is that we need to ensure that in our life we are happy and content being the person that we are. So that there never is a reason enough that can convince us to change. Because, personally, that's the worst thing we can do to ourselves. And the last thing I'll ever do again!
