Don't Be A Crowd Pleaser

"I know not everyone will like me, but this is who I am, so if you don't like it, tough!" ~ Britney Spears

As the old saying goes, people are like leaves - not one the same. In my opinion, there are two types of people. The first type, and my least favorite, is the type of people who do what they do because everyone else is doing it. Whether that be bullying someone, smoking a cigarette, or simply refraining from being themselves because they're afraid of what others will think of them. The second type, and the type represented by this quote, is the type of people who do what they do because it's what their heart tells them to do. In other words, they're not afraid to be themselves.

The main idea of this quote is that, no matter how hard you strive, it is impossible for every single person you come across to like you. Of course there are more likeable people, and less likeable people, but no one is going to be liked by all of man kind. What's important to remember is that it's better to have a few friends that like you for who you are, rather than a hundred friends who like you for who you're not. You may look at someone and wish you were in their shoes because they're the popular, outgoing socialite. Little do you know, they could be hurting inside because what they've become is never what they wanted to be. Life's all about pursuing your dreams, and finding people that support you and will be there for you one hundred percent along the way.
