about being true to oneself

Autumn has an effect on me. It brings me to think about life. About who I am. As a person, what I want, where I'm going. About me in relation to others. Who I am in my relationships; to my boyfriend, family and friends. I always come to a similar conclusion. In order for my relationships to work, for me to be able to be the person I want to be, I need to be happy with myself. When I am happy and have found my balance, I can give so much more to others. I can be the person that I want others to see in me. And for this all to be possible I think we should never stop dreaming, and the ultimate thing never to forget is, to quote Janis Joplin:

Don't compromise yourself. You're all you've got. 




I watched Eat, Pray, Love a while back. One of my favorite movies. So worth watching. Life's all about living the moment, about dolce far niente. And about being true to yourself.
