At this point in my life, I've finally learned some valuable lessons. You are who you are and you shouldn't change that for anyone. If someone tries to change you, they never loved you for who you were, only what they wanted you to be.
If, at the end of the day, you like who you are, don't try and be anything else. Sooner or later I think we will all eventually meet someone who is looking for the person you are naturally - and the connection is then made without trying to force it.
I think once we realize these simple truths, we find a peace that is unmatched and it enables us to really enjoy life in our own skin.
