Yes it is all true that we all try to be individuals, but when it comes down the the fact that we actually have to be one on one with an individual....are you REALLY prepared to be what you are and the rest will accept you as you are?
Think about it...none of us are prepared to strike out on our own and be us as we are us because we have conformed to family contributions and trials and tribulations that we have survived. None of us can say that we are totally on our own as we have previously been totally on our own throughout life. We have endured influences and incumbrances from previous family experiences.

Are you totally comfortable in saying that "I am what I am...take me or leave me" any more? I used to think that, but I have been educated recently through experience that I may need to rethink all of this otherwise...


I expect to wake up tomorrow. Beyond that............

Actually, after the grief abates a little, it becomes truly liberating to be totally alone, with no one who expects anything from you. Clean slate.

Shall we all take a step back and realize that we are not what everyone expects us to be?



But I can't read their minds, so I don't know what they expect.

Nor do I care.

it doesn't matter what OTHER people expect; listen to your heart! We are not here to meet their expectations...

I live my life to be an example to my children and to the students that I teach daily. Children learn by what they see and hear..I hope that I make a positive influence on one of my students lives.happy

Expectations are dreams made up in ones mind...

Most of those I'll never live up to.

So I am me and thats the best I can do.

I guess its because I am older and wiser ha ha
But in my younger dating days I would be someone else not my true self. Just to impress him.

Not these days I am me take me or leave me. I am not here to impress anyone.
Just taking life one day at a time.
