Adjusting to expectations?

I see how people try to change for their loved ones. I respect the conscious effort they put into changing something that is inherent to them. I respect their love.

But all said and done, I don't think it's fair. I don't think needing to adjust to someone else's expectation of you is fair. Because you give away the most important thing in the world.

Being you.

There are so many people you meet, so many people you get close to, if you choose to adjust yourself according to most people you have met (or even just one person, doesn't really matter), answer me this, what's left of you, in you?

Don't change. Improvise. Evolve. Not because you want to fit into a bracket of someone else's expectations, but because you genuinely feel it's about time you worked on yourself.

I am not perfect, but neither are you. It's really just an entire universe filled with imperfect people. The only thing that differs is the level of imperfection.

Find someone that respects your imperfection.
