Expectations or Standards?

What is it about societies' expectation of us that we take so seriously? Everyone has an image of who they are - some false, some real. What is your image of yourself? Is it truly where you expected to be? Is this the person you truly wanted to be? Also, take a look around and consider the people who matter most to you. Do they accept you for who you are and who you will be in the future? If you find yourself changing your personality for the sake of your company, you may be in the wrong company. Even a greater issue, you're altering yourself not for yourself but for someone else. Always be true to yourself and your needs. If you find that you are always seeking that someone to understand you - don't give up and change for those you've already found. Continue to search - that person is out there somewhere. There is someone in this world who will understand you for you and not for who they want you to be or expect you to be.
