expression

You know, it's strange, we sacrifice all of who we are to become everything we think we are suppose to be.

We do shit for lovers, family, and friends that we would never do. We act all out of character. Doing all types of shit so that we can say we are loved/accepted. We convince ourselves that we love it, because they love everything we have become.

Silently, we abhor the person we've become. However, we convince ourselves that the only way we can achieve love is to contradict the person we once were. After it is all said and done, we are stuck trying to find the balance between compromise and self sacrifice.

"Be what you are, and say what you feel, because those who care don't matter, and those that matter don't care." --Dr. Seuss (Theodore Geisel)"
