Quotes that remind you to be yourself

The only person who we should aim to be is ourselves. Part of loving you is being yourself. If you have to be another person to hang around a group of people, then you shouldn’t be hanging around them. Your friends, family, boyfriend, girlfriend, all love you for you. Don’t feel the need to be what people want you to be, just to fit in with them. Don’t allow Instagram and other social media images and videos to change who you are. Have your own identity and be fine with that. Your personality, your goofiness, your look, and your laugh is what people love about you. That should be enough!
