Self-discovery then self-acceptance

I spent a great deal of time being someone that I thought I should be. Trying to be someone that would be accepted by others. I realize now that it takes a long time to know who you are. It is a continuous journey of self-discovery to figure out the person you truly believe you are supposed to be. Once decided, you must implement the change that makes that person become a reality. Our beliefs and our morals are a big part of it. It's about really searching deep within yourself. I now know who I am and I no longer pretend to be something I am not. I implore you all to do the same. Be your beautiful selves and continue shining!
