I would like to further my in depth search for the real you. I have to admit... I am a culprit of changing something about me to impress someone. I am about to admit something so shameful... and horrific... that those of you with a weak stomach may want to stop reading here [but don't really, because I expect my readers to read the whole post... just saying]. My confession?
I don't really like Coldplay, but I downloaded their discography because prior boy is a fanatic.
I have to say. It feels good to get that off my chest. Phew. I think it's so interesting that we'll do things like that for people. I definitely bought powder skis because X was into that kind of skiing, and I wanted to share that with him. Thankfully, I love those skis like my own child, so nothing was wasted! I also dipped my toes in the waters of rap, and fortunately [again] it turns out I don't mind it at all. Now, I was lucky, I managed to get away with actually enjoying the things that I changed about myself in order to make it so we had more things in common, but I definitely would suggest sticking to your guns, and remaining as true as you can to who you are. Don't let people tell you that you are a conformist, or that you need to listen to a certain kind of music, or that you should express yourself a certain way. The only person you should change for is yourself. That isn't to say that you shouldn't let people [positively] influence you, but in the end, the decision should be entirely yours, and you should be doing it entirely for yourself!
