Trying to be someone else is like wearing shoes that are two sizes too small – painful and utterly pointless. Being yourself, quirks and all, is liberating, comfortable, and frankly, much less exhausting. Pretending is hard work, and who has the energy for that these days? Your authentic self is unique, valuable, and perfectly imperfect. Embrace your oddities, your passions, your slightly questionable taste in music. The world needs originals, not carbon copies. So, be yourself, unapologetically, wonderfully, wonderfully you. Unless, as mentioned, unicorn status is achievable. Then, prioritize unicorn, then authentic unicorn self.
