"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you someone else is the greatest accomplishment." - Ralph Waldo Emerson You are you! Never change yourself; there's no need Not even your flaws, my friend. Never change your ways The stain in your personality stays the way it stays Even if you scrub it with soap and wire brush, until your fingers bleed!
