Being on here well I have met my fair share of true friends, we keep in touch and I love that I've also had the pleasure of meeting quite a few scammers and this is truly sad...being true to yourself means you don't have to lie about who you are, what it is you want. Life is not always easy and we all go through things, being it a failed marriage, relationship, or getting hurt in one way or another and this is only on a personal level. We also at times go through all of the above in our work life or with complete strangers.
Being something you're not or pretending to be someone you're not well you could loose out on meeting "the one" or just meeting people who can turn out to be genuine friends...and that is the sad part...how long does a lie last??
I love being ME, simplicity it calls for less complications and I wake up feeling good, smiling take each moment one step at a time. Having a cup of coffee with friends or just catching up with the ones I've met here is a pleasure. Having a positive attitudem good sense of humour, the ability to make others smile it attracts like minded people and I love it...go on try it, its called "play it forward" :-)
When things go wrong as they sometimes will;
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill;
When the funds are low, and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but have to sigh;
When care is pressing you down a bit-
Rest if you must, but do not quit.
Success is failure turned inside out;
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;
And you can never tell how close you are
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit-
It's when things go wrong that you must not quit.
