We are all capable of enormous resilience. Being yourself is definitely not easy, even though it should be. You are you. How difficult is that? But what I'm finding out more and more is that we all have to fight to be who we are. Whether you're struggling with expectations from others or with expectations from yourself, or whether life has made you reconsider exactly who you are, we are constantly battling for our true identities. Which is really amazing, because life only seems to try and wreck that identity more and more as you grow older: we get jealous of who other people are and want that for ourselves, an overwhelming expectation can get the better of us, we may have to give up who we are for the need to survive or for the better of others. It always gets tougher to fight for who you are, and we all know that, and yet somehow, we keep fighting. We keep ourselves intact and continue forward, never giving up on who we are. We are all capable of enormous resilience. I think you should credit yourself for that.
