Is it hard to be yourself?

And not someone's version?

Be yourself—the person you were before this.

The you who never tried to imitate other people's lives.

I remember you as soft and green, like a freshly cut lawn.

You acted like a soft cloth, wiping away people's tears.

You were not a pine on top of the hill.

You were not a rotten leaf but fresh and green always.

You were not a terrible jungle but a botanical garden.

There's something good within you.

It is the green sparkle inside your heart and soul.

There appears to be light on your face.

The light is coming from the sun's rays.

For you to be a star.

For you to be your best self.
