Be who You Are

Find out what you're personal interest are. What makes you happy and what do you love to do? This is something that you should make an activity or hobby in your life. For instance, don't try out for the basketball team because your crush likes basketball players. If you try out for the basketball team just for your crush and you get cut you'll look like a loser. If your crush even notices that you try'd out and if you make it and you suck or you're simply mediocre you still don't stand out and that will not get the attention of the one you like. Or don't become a cheerleader for the football team because the person you like is on the football team. If you treat people like celebrities they will treat you like a fan. Your crush will not even care about nonetheless, pay you any attention. Also, you will lose out on the essence of who you are and what you were born to do. When you try to be someone else's perfect most of the time they don't even notice or appreciate it so you might as well do what you want to do. Most of all you want to be more happy in the end. It's like we go through all these different struggles just to impress people and they don't even notice or care. This is when you fall into feeling down about yourself because you're so busy worried about everyone else and what they think about you instead of yourself.  Most of the time you end up embarrassing yourself when you try to be someone that you are not. No one should feel ashamed if they are behaving this way or they tried to be someone who they're not to get attention or feel better about themselves. There is room for change and acceptance of ones inner self.
This is a process which does not work over night but takes time and practice. My freshman year of high school had the most embarrassing, confusing and funny moments of my life. These moments were so funny and embarrassing but they all made me stronger.
