Being true, even when it's hard

I've realised that the hardest thing in my life is to be true to me. What is that? being true to oneself? Is it doing what one loves to do the most? Is it about letting only a select few in and keeping others at bay?

I think, I'm not totally certain, but I think this means doing what is best for me whilst not hurting others in the process. Sometimes we have to tell others how we feel even when we know the outcome will change things, maybe for good. But we must do it, how else can we improve ourselves. Not everyone we meet deserves a spot in our lives and sometimes we face the same test over and over till we get it right. 

All my life, I've done what I thought was the right thing, what others expected of me, or even worse, what I thought would make others like me. I fooled myself into thinking it was the right thing to do. 

All my life I felt a fool when the outcome went awry. All my life, I've been waiting for this moment to be free. I hope to live in this moment for the rest of my life.
