i hope not i think one should just be themselves..i wouldnt want everyone to like me..think of the stress that one would put upon themselves trying to make everyone like them..no matter how nice someone is..there will always be someone who dont like them because of their own insecurities..enjoyed

(sigh) I agree with Floria and Victoria, I too would never want to change everyone and have them be like me, for I prefer to be individualistic and I believe if we don't be true to ourselves, we will feel unhappy and bewildered in the end then we struggle to realize how we can be back to ourselves in the long run! (big hugggssssss) This is powerfully thoughtful, sweet friend, we all love you so much, never change who you are! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Very insightful reflection. I wonder how many of us would be willing to to look that deep into ourselves??? Not me…some things I just don’t want to know about myself!! Lol

An interesting observation, well written, faterider...I like your interesting presentation too!
Frankly...I choose just to be myself, and if people don't like me...I just figure that its their problem.
This is my most recent persona...it seems to have come out of my realizing that I won't live forever and so I have to enjoy whatever I have now...and therefore, I won't let anyone steal a moment from my enjoyment...
I guess I'm selfish now...but oh well!
We only live once...Carpe Diem!

good job!

ah yes. . . don't we all wonder that faterider. . . don't we all. . .

I like the presentation of this one. . . it makes it visually appealing. . . and makes the word stand out more. . . gets you thinking. . . well done. . .

hmm.. thought povoking.. I know a girl like this, but I've just realised I've never even considered that might do the same! That shows how closed minded some people are about things like this.. things that could put them in a bad light.. You have my admiration, Kaile. but then, you had that anyway.

A question.. what is the (20 or less) in your title? The number of words in the poem? I didn't know there was a form like this.. ?
