Who are we when no one is looking? When no one is looking we seem to express ourselves and who we really are. Why is that? When no one is there to watch, no one is there too judge so we feel free. We don't have the society bombarding us with "perfection." We find ourselves a quite place. We meditate on life and that's when we find ourselves. When no one is watching. When no one is watching we find beauty. We find gentleness and fear, someone that we are afraid to show to the world because in a world like today everyone has to be "perfect," and "strong." Sometimes peace and quite is what someone needs. It helps you open your mind. You start getting inspired and that is when you see the beautiful things in life and you don't get captured into our society that can destroy you or prevent you from being happy with yourself. "Nothing can bring you peace but yourself." - Emerson.
How do we feel? The hardest thing a human can possibly do is express their feelings. We hide our emotions because we don't want to show weakness. We don't wan't people to see our flaws because we are afraid that if they do they'll see us differently. We think that if we hide our emotions we won't feel them anymore but in reality we are just hurting ourselves even more. It's okay to cry. We as humans reach a point where we just need to release all the emotions that we have and the only way to do it is by crying. Life is not always going to be perfect. Sometimes I wonder, why should I be sad when there are other people who have been through worse? We as human's face many difficulties but these experiences are what molds us and make us the person who we are. You can either learn from them and move on or dwell on them for the rest of your life. Don't be afraid to show your true feelings and express your thoughts because that is where ideas are made and that is what makes us grow. Emerson gave us the best advice which was to," Speak your latent conviction....Else tomorrow a stranger will say with masterly good sense precisely what we have thought and felt all the time, and we shall be forced to take with shame our own opinion from another."
How do we really accomplish happiness and find our inner selves? Don't let the fear of society prevent you from being yourself. There will never be another you ever again. Take risks, live your life, be yourself, and find happiness. Enjoy every year that you get and accomplish your goals because soon that year will be over and you will never be the age that you once were.You are strong, beautiful, and independent. Life is too short to be worrying about what other people think of you. You know yourself better than anyone else and you know that happiness can only exist if you exit all the negativity and focus on who you really want to be. Emerson once said," Ne te quaesiveris extra." don't seek for things outside of yourself because these things are what kill who you are. Be the unique person that you are. You don't need other people to hold your hand through it all. The change starts in you.
Life is not perfect and it will never be. You just have to make the best out of it to be happy. Not everyone will like you but that is how life works. You will experience things that will make you suffer but that shouldn't stop you from living. Be free. Don't worry. Focus on what you want for yourself and not what others want from you. You are beautiful, don't let fear take the best out of you. You are stronger than what you think and you are loved. If Emerson were to see me I think he'd be proud. " Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
