You might as well get comfortable with yourself, because who you are right now just might be all you will ever be.
–Some woman in a TV showI gave you candy, gave you diamonds
Gave you pills, I gave you anything you want
Hundred dollar bills
I even let you hear the songs I want to sing
I gave you anything anything anything

The other day, I turned on the television to watch a movie and some random documentary was on. It was about tiny houses. I have no idea what most of the focus of the show was aside from small houses, but this woman was talking about some of the reasons she downsized drastically and moved into a tiny house.
The idea of being comfortable with yourself jumped right out at me.
I have always had a hard time with it. It’s something I am only starting to come into. I am not even particularly comfortable talking about it, and as some of you know, I will talk about pretty much anything. There’s really no reason for me to be so squicky about it. A lot of people are uncomfortable with aspects of themselves.
Most people probably are.
I think maybe what makes me uncomfortable about talking about being uncomfortable with myself, apart from using the word uncomfortable so much, is that it tends to go along with pretending. If you don’t like who you are, you’re inclined to act like someone you are not.
You might not even be aware of it. What do you suppose is worse: lying to yourself or to other people?
