The fear of being yourself - by Lindo Nkoane

Sometimes you fear of what people are going to say about the real you. People try to mold you into this person, you don’t even know who you are anymore and who you have become as a person. You have this fear that if you show people the real you, they are going to turn their backs on you. You will feel the fear of being alone, you’re too scared of the truth, but the truth is not something impractical and hopelessly distant from us. Sometimes being alone gives you the time to think of what kind of a person you have changed into and what kind of person you want to be. To make your dreams a reality, not someone else’s, be your own person. Don’t follow someone’s path, but make your own path. Don’t copy a legacy when you can make your own. Be unique!  Be yourself.
