The Deepest Fear About Being Who You Are By: Victoria Gignac

     You've probably already seen that person who does everything possible to try and fit in and ends up becoming a completely different person. Marianne Williamson describes this change or "fear" through her whole quote: Our Deepest Fear. People shouldn't change who they are just to be able to fit someone's liking and fit in. You should never be afraid of being judged for being who you are. "There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you." (Williamson). This particular line strikes me because it has two different meanings. First of all, that is exactly what I do. People like me don't like being in the spotlight because we like to give others a chance to shine, too. I don't want others to be alone in a corner without the chance of being the center of attention because I also don't want them to feel like I'm showing off or that I'm selfish. This line also describes how there is nothing good about changing who you are so that others will like you better. Just like the essential meaning of this quote. Imagine this beautiful girl with a great personality but isn't the type of girl with too many friends and is desperately trying to fit in with others. She changes her looks and starts acting differently. That is wrong and should not be happening to anyone. Everyone deserves a chance to be seen equally in the world. You should always be proud of who you are because you are unique in this world and it should never change.
