"Just be yourself" was the best advice I ever received.
Like many teenagers I had people who were talking negative about me. If it wasn't one thing they didn't like, it was another. As I shared with my aunt she said, "Just be yourself!"
I knew I wasn't like other people. Actually I didn't care, but somehow I needed someone to tell me it was alright to, "Just be yourself."
I think this advice has made me a stronger person. Like everyone I do want people to like me, but I still feel free to be myself. If people can accept me for me, yippy! But if they don't, I know according to Psalm 139:141, God created me "wonderfully complex" just like everyone else.
