I'm saying this , because I notice, many wants to please everyone.

1. It's not gonna work
2. You will be lying to yourself
3.You will be lying to others as well


So please, be an individual, don't try to identify yourself with others who aren't you and think differently. It goes for both men and women, who all want to act like or even look like others, they choose role models or identifiy themselves with someone and behave in the same way.

Being an individual is not a bad trait, as I have heard or you might have heard, that he or she is either a black sheep of a community or just don't fit in anywhere. It is really a blessing to have someone think for himself or herself and have opinions shaped on his/her own way, even if it might be not correct.

What is this have to do with relationships and dating?

Everything.

You try to behave a certain way to act in a certain fashion and "acceptable" way, because you might think this is how it works or this is how you gonna manage or you have seen something in a soap opera or movie or heard it from a friend or family.
You think, you must do certain things you have seen or heard from others in order to succeed in life and live a happy life or find someone, who would love you for who you are.
The fact is, they can't love you for "who you are" if you aren't even yourself. So stop pretending to be something that you aren't and start beleiving yourself. And don't listen to what others might say , don't be so self-conscious about yourself. Be proud and love yourself who you are, your opinion of yourself counts first, everything else follows and not the other way.

This is just something I wanted to say, it's just one of those times I felt like saying this.

garden party

I went to a garden party to reminisce with my old friends
A chance to share old memories and play our songs again
When I got to the garden party, they all knew my name
No one recognized me, I didn't look the same

CHORUS
But it's all right now, I learned my lesson well.
You see, ya can't please everyone, so ya got to please yourself

People came from miles around, everyone was there
Yoko brought her walrus, there was magic in the air
'n' over in the corner, much to my surprise
Mr. Hughes hid in Dylan's shoes wearing his disguise

CHORUS

lott-in-dah-dah-dah, lot-in-dah-dah-dah

Played them all the old songs, thought that's why they came
No one heard the music, we didn't look the same
I said hello to "Mary Lou", she belongs to me
When I sang a song about a honky-tonk, it was time to leave

CHORUS

lot-dah-dah-dah (lot-dah-dah-dah)
lot-in-dah-dah-dah

Someone opened up a closet door and out stepped Johnny B. Goode
Playing guitar like a-ringin' a bell and lookin' like he should
If you gotta play at garden parties, I wish you a lotta luck
But if memories were all I sang, I rather drive a truck

CHORUS

lot-dah-dah-dah (lot-dah-dah-dah)
lot-in-dah-dah-dah

'n' it's all right now, learned my lesson well
You see, ya can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself

Groove- Diharmonic Orchestra


My attempts to freeze the time
Where failures
But I have been close
Intents I had you could divine
And I'm aware
Of boring those
Who never really did approve
My actual aims
But though I dance
With herds of goofy gnus of groove
And make up peculiar names
In trance
If I stay in that distance
There will be no admittance
To another state of mind
A plain of existance
I'm watching plankton
Creeping through the grass
Safe from the whale
That's what I guess
Have not a clue
Got no idea
Doubt that they know
What's happening here
