Someone once told me, "If it's an external source that gives you self-esteem, you can be sure it's counterfeit. Trying to live up to society's standards is one of the most powerful contributors to a false sense of self-worth."
It actually makes sense since measuring up to a certain standard alters your character, making you not "you". It's altered, almost adulterated.... Everyone is just like a body of water. On the surface it may appear barren and uninteresting. Under it lies a lot, your "self". It takes a lot of courage to take a plunge or even just test the waters, if you know what I mean.. What I see is you are trying to fit in. So now, convince me you are not COUNTERFEIT.
Boohoo ...
