Be You

This is going to be another random blog. Just a warning!! have you ever tried just randomly writing, writing the next word that pops into your head?? It's fun, and it's funny to read the nonsense things that come out of your head. Such as the frickin water pump is just around the bend and why do hairy gray cows eat munich and fragrances?? Lol. I know, I'm crazy. You just write the next word thats comes to mind. My sister and I did it one time last summer on vacation, it was hilarious, we laughed our heads off.

Alright, onto something more serious. Have you ever thought about who you really were? By this I mean, do you really know yourself? Your interests, your favourite things, your personality. And is it what you REALLY do like, not something you pretend to so someone will like you more? of course there are things you do for love, supporting people in their interets and activities even if you don't like it yourself. But I'm talking about pretending to be someone else or trying to be different than who you really are so a person would like you better? I was talking to someone a while ago about how sometimes we try to be like other people because we see how funny they are, or how they are well liked. And then we think maybe if we can be like that, then people will like us. Adn then you are not being yourself. And it's kind of a sad thing, because it usually doesn't work. You can't make yourself be somebody else. You have to be your authentic self. You are not going to be happy if you try to take pieces of people's personalities that you like and make that a picture of what you want to be. And that's called losing yourself. If you have ever seen Runaway Bride, Julia Roberts is the main character and she always runs away at the altar, she never gets married and this happens a lot of times. but anyways, with every man she was with she would say her favourite kind of eggs was what kind the guy liked. She didn't really know what kind of eggs she liked. You think sometimes nobody notices you, like you blend into the wallpaper, like you're invisible. No one gets what it's like to be you and live your life and be stuck inside your mind. And for some reason, nobody likes you for who you really are. So you try to be somebody else, be different, so people will like you and then maybe you will feel loved and accepted. But God loves your authentic self, who He made you to be. So you may not be the most popular person. But if you try to be the person God made you to be, the beautiful soul you have, then the relationships you bring will also be authentic and be based on truth. YOu will know who you are and what you like, and you won't let people walk all over you because you will know how you want to be treated. You won't get into unhealthy relationships where you are not treated well because you can't realize how to get out of it or even that you don't really like being treated like that. I know most of us have wanted to be other people at some time or another, take a part of that person's personality so we can be funnier, or more outgoing, or smarter. But I think one thing we also dont'realize is maybe that person that we're trying to be like, wants to be like somebody else, wants also to be different and not themselves. Like I have said before, us humans, we don''t talk a lot about how we really feel or our deepest thoughts and when we do we discover that we are more like eachother than we thought.

And you know those really nice, kind people? The ones that rarely snap at you and always greet you with a smile and you instantly feel loved? You never feel afraid to come to them and talk or just say hi, or ask them anything because you know that their response will not ever be in a harsh tone. Well I've always thought that that I can see a bit of Jesus in those people. That's what He is like right? Always open, a kind face, knowing He will love you and when you talk to Him you always feel accepted and loved. You don't even have to hesitate to come, you just automatically do that. It's the first thing you think of. They won't push me away and they won't be frustrated with me. I know few people like that and really, I can see some of Jesus in them.
