I think Dostoevsky was right, that every human being must have a point at which he stands against the culture, where he says, this is me and the damned world can go to hell.

I think back to the parties Aimee and I planned, and how all those tuxedos and ball gowns weren't really that much different, costumewise, than some of these getups. Not as elaborate or out there, to be sure, but not so different. After all, is an hour at Bobbi Brown for the perfect party makeup that much of a stretch from an hour putting on a Klingon forehead or Spock ears? Is searching for the perfect dress, shoes, bag, wrap, jewelry so much different from the perfect jumpsuit, ray gun, ammo belt, and communicator? And unlike most of the regular parties we did, these people are way open to each other and the experience. There don't seem to be gaggles of people standing back to judge the other gaggles. And while a lot of the subsets do seem to flock together, Star Wars over here, Lord of the Rings over there, I haven't overheard one snarky comment about someone's costume. None of the women here, in all of their variety of shapes and sizes, seem to be doing anything other than squeeing at each other and praising how gorgeous they are. And everyone seems to just own themselves. I've been at hundreds of events looking at a sea of black dresses because everyone thinks it is slimming. But today I've seen a riot of color and skin. Including a 350-pound raven-haired vixen in a chain-mail corset, with cleavage you could park a hovercraft in, surrounded by a coterie of clearly smitten men. I wanted to high-five her.

I think people get lost in becoming someone other then themselves when they spend too much time in the presence of those who don't bring out the best in them.

It is not the world’s job to like you; it is yours to love yourself.

It might be extremely dorky to point out, but who you are is singular. It’s science. No one else in existence has your point of view or exact genome (identical twins and clones, look for inspiration elsewhere, please). That is why we need people to share and help us understand one another better. And on a bigger level than just taking a selfie. (Not hating on selfies, but a few is enough. You look good from that angle; we get it.) We need the world to hear more opinions, give glimpses into more diverse subcultures. Are you REALLY into dressing your cat in handcrafted, historically authentic outfits? No problem, there are people out there who want to see that! Probably in excruciating detail!

It is much harder to pretend than it is to simply be who you already are.

It's a a damn good day to be alive.

It’s an act of courage whenever you make the decision to accept responsibility for every choice and decision you make.

It's a cliche, but all the good things have already been said and done and it feels like there's already a bar set for me to try to cross over. So, here it goes- "Don't be sorry for who you are, even if you feel like you don't belong here because there ALWAYS is a new place (and people) to discover.

It's a funny thing, how it works... The moment we stop trying so hard to be someone, we become ourselves--only what was there all along, waiting and peeking out from behind all the masks we wore. And when this happens, we discover that Who We Really Are is much greater than anything we might have pretended or even hoped to be.

It's beautiful when someone recognizes and appreciates us for who we are, for how we are, without trying to change us, and without any judgment. Unconditional acceptance is the truest form of love.

It's hard to remember who you were when you're constantly pretending to be someone you're not.

It's simple; be YOU. If you're not being you, you're being someone else. YOU are not here to be someone else.

It's okay to Evolve and Change, and become more of who you really are. It's okay to Become More Yourself.

Live like you want, not how others want you to live.

Life is a series of experiences that are ever so gently showing up to remind us who we are and what we need to walk us home. Whether it’s the gentle voice of the forest calling us to connect, or the pounding headache reminding us that we’ve been to hard on ourselves.

Look, no matter how much you want to be Y, you cannot be reborn as him. You are not Y. It's okay for you to be you. However, I am not saying it's fine to be 'just as you are'. If you are unable to really feel happy, then it's clear that things aren't right just as they are. You've got to put one foot in front of the other, and not stop.

Living a life where you are true to yourself takes more courage than hiding under a false life such as a pen name or alias. Never be ashamed of what you write, what genre you write where you have to hide who you are. - STRONG: Powerful Philosophy for Timeless Thoughts by Kailin Gow.

Love does not require you to make believe you are something you are not.

Love is stronger than both fear and hope - if you can love the natural beauty around you, the amazing gifts and skills we have, the fact that you are alive to experience life, each moment that you have, and love yourself and those around you just as they are, then there is no need to be owned by fear, or even hope, you just live the best you can, being the truth of that love that you are being, representing the stream of consciousness experiencing itself, always knowing that you will someday return to it again, and flow as part of it infinitely on.

Many people, who should have been rejoicing for what they've achieved, are rather regretting just because of one reason; they looked at what someone else was doing. Comparison eliminates contentment and then kills inner joy!

Maybe the problem with lying is that once you start faking it, it's impossible to tell where the make-believe you ends and the real you begins. It's hard to be who you are, but it's even harder to keep up the lie.

May you always be true to yourself.

Men may tag you names and titles, some may fit others may not, but never accept anyone's definition of who you are and should be; you decide!

Me: I am simply looking for a friend, I can rely on. Him: Sure that sounds so pure. Me: Thanks, they are very few who understand, I am glad in you I can confide when I need to stand. He: I called you so many times, you were busy. Me: I realised you called me three times earlier. I was in a meeting. I am sorry! He: I missed talking to you. Me: I am baffled, we are friends, why miss me in a day too? He: You're beautiful, that black dress suits you. With lovely hair, I am sure you smell great.

I like you as a friend, it was you who loved me! Me: I didnt. But may be I did. Oh! I didnt.. I dont know! He: I told you, you need help. Moral of the story- Lust is intoxicating people.. trying their best to may their way, Even if it asks for.. Someone's health, care and life it may!

My general feeling is that date make-up should be an honest advertisement for a potential relationship. Frankly, it’s easier for you that way. There’s no point labouring over lots of perfectly applied make-up if you are, in reality, a low-maintenance kind of girl who can’t possibly keep it up beyond the honeymoon period. Equally, it seems unwise to imply you’re someone who rolls out of bed and out to a Sunday farmer’s market all natural skin, flushed cheeks and a smidge of lip balm when your real life is spent in full coverage foundation and smoky eyes. Like any part of dating, it is always safer to be yourself because who can maintain a lie for long?

My grandmother always told me: beauty fades but dumb is forever.

My hair is not the shiniest of bobs My eyes are not the brightest in the room My figure will not get me modeling jobs My smile will not bring young boys to their doom. But do I cry and mourn my average face? Or wish that I had boyfriends at the ready? Do I not sleep because I lose the race, Or spurn my food because I don't go steady? My mind is on a more important thing That lifts my heart and makes my spirit soar I want to make the souls of people sing And quiet down the mean and bullying roar. To help the wounded girls replace the scar With the right to be exactly who they are.
