Sometimes some songs take you back the memory lane. Just today I was listening to Just as I am, by Air Supply and I experienced something similar. This used to be one of my favorite songs at some point of time, and I used to truly believe in this, that if someone loves me, he/she has to love me, just the way I am. But, when I look back through all the relationships and friendships and acquaintances, there were so many times when I simply couldn't be myself, cos I knew I would not belong if I would have been myself. And no matter how much each of us claims that we never do it, we know we do, we are different, another person, wearing another skin in front of every different group of people. Just that we refuse to accept it. But, a few days back I was reminded of the fact that somewhere deep down am trying, trying my best to be myself and am close, cos in the middle of an argument, I could scream and scream out loud, that this is me, this is the way I am, and if you want to love me, love me the way I am, and not the way you want me to be.
This is for everyone trying hard to come out of images created by them to be loved, appreciated, cared for, don't worry, there will be a day when you'll stop being someone else, there will be a day when you will find the person who will accept you for all your goods and all your flaws and answer your plea to be loved the way you are, in an affirmative. And that would be the day to lose yourself in that person's arms...
