On Being Who You Are

Many people and institutions around us are bent on telling us who we should be and what we should do. If our passions and aspirations are unpopular, we should “conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them know.” Screw that! Be who you are and do what you want. “Let it go” and say “Here I stand! and Here I’ll stay!” “Rise like the break of dawn” and be that beautiful person that you were born to be, “in the light of day.” And that’s today’s two cents!
