You know how great the feeling is when you are very sure of your identity? That you're not lost, that you know your identity is something you can live by and be secure in.
But not everyone can successfully find an identity for himself.
For me, I do have the knowledge that my identity is in the One who is never changing, everlasting and unfailingly loving. And because of Him, I don't have to be insecure about my appearance, about how people think about me, because my identity is in the One who matters in my life.
But I start to get confused when I have to speak differently and act differently in front of different groups of people whom I'm close with.
Like for example, there're some topics I can talk about with Group A, but there're some topics I can't talk about with Group A. Or... I can behave or speak in this certain way because it is according to Group A's culture, but such a culture would bring a little shock to my friends in Group B. HAHAHAHA! Why do I sound like I have so many friends?! Maybe I do uh :P
Oh man. And recently, the Facebook app, God Wants You To Know told me this:
It's time to let people know the real you. Be who you are, not who you think people want you to be. You are more beautiful on the inside than you realize, and you need to share that beauty with others. Be transparent, let your guard down, let people know the real you.
HAHAHA! Crap. This is very hard to do. I feel differently in front of different people. How to be the real me? Which is even the real me?! Nvm. I'm not distressed over this. I'm just wondering.
Byebye!
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. - 2 Corinthians 5:17
