Be You
With peer pressure, be that positive or negative, being yourself can be hard to do. Not only is it hard to be yourself, but at times, it can be incredibly difficult to do the things that YOU want to do for YOURSELF. We have people in our lives, positive people, negative people, and neutral people, but they all have influences in one way or another on us as individuals. Here are five different ways that you can start to become a more independent individual and do the things that YOU want to do.

Be Happy, Be Humble
Forgiving someone who is not sorry is one of the strongest things a person can do. There is this quote "I never knew how strong I was until I had to forgive someone who was not sorry"—Unknown. I have not related to something so much in my life as I do this quote. I have been in a lot of smaller situations where forgiving someone who wasn't sorry was not that big of a deal, you know that "sorry" you get told and you can just hear the attitude and anger in it. You know that they are not truly sorry, but you take it with a grain of salt and just push it aside. Once they have officially hurt me more than words can express, I realized hanging on to the hurt and resentment was hurting me more than it was hurting them.

Balance
As a passionate and motivated individual, I find it difficult to do anything other than work. I don't mean as in a day-job, which also takes up a large portion of my life, but something I enjoy. 'Work' is a loose term for this, it's something that I aspire to be a full-time lifestyle which pays my bills, but is at the same time something I want to do with every fiber of my being.

People Don't Like You?! You Can Hate Yourself?!
1. People are going to dislike you. This may seem like a counter-intuitive idea to accept when aiming to be more at ease with the self, but it is something that I think is really necessary when searching for self-acceptance.
