Truly Know You

       I figured out. I figured out why people are so concerned about what other people think about us. It's because we don't truly know ourselves. We honestly count on other people to know us better than we know ourselves. This delves into what I've been talking about since I first started this blog! I've written about the unimportance of physical beauty, the importance of accepting your worth, the importance of being original in your own way, and I've talked about evaluating ourselves honestly...I think they've all been leading up to this post.

        The opinion of others doesn't matter when you truly know yourself. 
      We subconsciously pay attention to what other people think about us because we want to know who we are in their eyes...so we can worry about all of the faults they see. That's not how it's supposed to work.
       If you truly know who you are, then what does the opinion of others mean? What other people think of you doesn't say things about you, instead, it speaks volumes about them. We can't go about living to please other people, that's not how it works. 
       I came to such a conclusion because I seem to care less about what others think of me and what society says than other people do. I am passionate about being myself which is something everyone tries to do, but I believe that too many of them care what other people think. (I'm not trying to say I'm perfect here, I just seem to be on the outside looking into something that I can't quite grasp...if that makes sense?)
      I don't know a lot of people who are genuinely, 100 % comfortable in their own skin by just being who they are. It almost makes you wonder if people like that even exist, you know? (Think of Jennifer Lawrence, that girl don't care if the haters hate!) We all need to just be who we are by knowing who we are. We need to be open-minded, independent people and independent thinkers...I believe that's how people come to know who they really are, by opening their eyes.
  
     Sorry if this doesn't make a whole lot of sense, my thoughts are usually a jumble of nonsense that only makes sense to me...so...
     Also, this isn't very long...sorry. =)
