My mom always says to me, "Never lie about yourself, because if you do then you don't know who you are anymore". I don't have to show a fake personality to people. If they don't like me for who I am then I don't have to like them for who they are. I am who I am, a really nice, caring and generous person, who's proud of her achievements and for showing a great personality everywhere.
But nobody knows the real me. My parents think they know me but they don't, no one knows the true me the feelings that I have inside or what I think about my life or what I want, what I need or what I love. I don't really like to talk about my private life or show everybody what I think or what I want in life. Well we are writing a memoir here, we have to express our true feelings and what we have been experienced in our life.
My parents think that I am so happy for leaving the house and going to college. Well actually I'm not, but they don't know that, because I always say to them, "Can't wait to be on my own" well that's a lie. I want to show them that I am not afraid to grow up and leave the house and be on my own, but I don't think I'm ready for this. I love them so much and for me being away from them it will be really hard for me to handle. I don't want to grow up and live and support myself, but that's life, sometimes you don't have any other choices.
I show my true self to... I will say myself because I'm the only one that knows about me. I'm the only one that knows the dreams that I have for the present and the future.
That's just me, the true me and I would never change myself because I love who I am and I think everybody should do the same.
I like this post I think it is very good of you to not care what anyone thinks and just be happy with who you are. I think its good that you dont care about what anyone thinks and that you can just be your self.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean when you say your parents think they know you but they don't. My mom and I have actually gotten into little arguments because of this. They make me out to be kind of a bad kid sometimes. And I try to explain to them I haven't done anything to make them think that. They don't know how I really feel either!
ReplyDeleteI liked this writing. it showed very similar ideas that came to mind when I was writing about it. I agree with you to always be yourself. Good descriptive writing and good job expressing your feelings throughout the peice.
ReplyDeleteI can relate to this so much. I'm always saying that I can't wait to move out and live on my own doing as I please, and not worrying about anyone. But it actually scares me. I always wonder about the problems I could run into and if i'll even be able to live on my own. But its just a waiting game now.
ReplyDeletei totaly agree. my parents usualy say the same thing except they tell me to be better then everyone else which i don't do. i have no intention to ever be anything then what i really am on the inside. keep up the good work.
