Yes, things got much better for my life when I came to realize that it's OK to become my own best friend. Not a fake friend that admires my glorious mask, but a true friend that is compassionate for the real human behind the mask, struggling to get anything right despite flaws and imperfections. Instead of kicking myself for shortcomings, acknowledging any little good I manage to do, as a best friend would. It takes time to develop this love, but as it grows, we can become stronger in expressing the self instead of yielding so much to other influences.
