Bunmi

It seems as though people love to judge me. Criticize, chastize, and all that good stuff. People are always asking me why I do this and why I do that, but never stopping and asking themselves the same question. Now I wish I had an answer. I wish I could tell them truly why I smile. And truly why I'm so aware. I wish I could just open up and tell them they only see the surface of a soul who has traveled so far. Through rocky roads and torn between two parents trying to please both parties and I started trying to please the world..I guess?? But you can't please everybody and I've learned to accept that.

I've been told before that I'm too nice.

I've been told before that I'm a racist

I've been told before I'm too smart, work too hard, smile too much and the list goes on.....

I guess a part of living is dealing with criticism. However, at times that can get to be too much. There are times when I feel like being around people who will accept me as who I am and not try and change me. There are times when I just want people to want me as ME. I've had so many different personalities I sometimes forget who I am.

I'm not fake, I just naturally try and adjust to my surroundings. At times I'm crazy, at times I'm focused, at times I'm a "regular" teen, and at times I act as if I've been on Earth for decades..

But who Am I who am I who Am I.

I remember times where I use to go to church, I remember a time when I fought, I remember a time when my best friend was WHITE, I remember a time when I LOVED lil romeo {ILK!} I remember a time when I was depressed and was close to Suicide!

I was a differnt person in each of those scenarios and I won't say for a seccond say that I'm a better person then that girl I use to be. Maybe more wise and intelligent. More developed physically and intellectually.

    Ok... Ignore the previous deleted comments .lol. Im doing this from my phone and its a little difficult .lol. So my comment is...

    Bunmi u r such an artist. Its defined in everything you do. Your personality adapts to whoever you come into contact with... so much sometimes you forget who you are. Along with this you have the "artistic struggle". Many dont realize or dont understand that we artist engage in the most dangerous battle... the one within the mind. I too have been, and still am in some instences, where you are. But I have found that being true to oneself is easier than we make. To be "you" means only that you stay true to what you believe, what you feel, and what you want. We change these things to fit in the needs of others, in order to gain a certain form of acceptance. But the greatest acceptance needed is our own. We must accept ourselves. You choose the TYPE of person you want to be. Not WHO you want to be, for you are you and that is law. In order to be the best "you", you must magnify and manifest all the good in you. Its that simple. Yes you have flaws... but to become perfect means not that you have no flaws, but that your good overshadows them so much where it seems as if you have none.

    If you want to know who you are in a nutshell Bunmi I can tell you. You are a beautiful, talented, great soul who can move mountains. That simple ; )
