To thine own self be true

Yesterday I realized that I have been living a lie. I thought that if I got out and met people I would finally be happy. Like girls in a fairy tale. Once upon a time ... happily ever after. I blame that garbage thinking on Harlequin Romances.

Reality is not a Harlequin or "Noah's Ark" either. No law says, we have to go around 2 by 2. Some people are alone in life by choice, others are that way by circumstance. Alone or not we all have the same potential for happiness.

First though before I can claim my share of happiness. I have to relearn some things . Mainly how to be true to myself. That sounds very nice to me. I still remember the way I used to be. Can hardly wait to see the real me again.

This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
Farewell, my blessing season this in thee!
