being yourself is good, just make sure you don't do illegal stuff and be prepared to be criticized for just being you because in this society that we live in people hate what they can't understand and what they find too different.
You never know how much the little words you say could affect someone. I make it a point to try and make sure I never say anything that will hurt anyone I meet but I suck at it, I'm human, I make mistakes.
Never put your happiness in the palm of another person's hand because no matter how careful they are there will always be a day when a mistake is made. The lifespan of a human is finite, what happens when they leave? Best to learn how to be happy by yourself before being with that person that adds on to your happiness
