What does it even mean to "be yourself" exactly?
Taken simply, you can't be anything other than yourself, I think. Sounds simplistic, but it's really kind of a powerful affirmation, in its way.
The sh*tstorm around "Who is the real me?" only goes on in our thoughts, and thoughts aren't reality, just a sort of gauzy curtain shrouding our true vision.
