On Fitting In

This is a topic I see a lot of people dealing with. It seems like a thing almost everyone deals with, mainly in the teenage years, and I know I struggled with it for awhile. The lesson I found hardest to learn in this is that being yourself is how you manage to fit in and also be way happier about it.
The thing is, a lot of people think that once they fit in, then they'll be happy, but in reality you have to be yourself first, and then you'll attract the people who are naturally drawn to the type of person you really are. If you work hard on changing who you are to fit in with a certain crowd you'll find yourself constantly disagreeing with things they do, or feeling bad about the things you have to do. You'll find yourself never fully satisfied, and that comes directly from not being yourself. When you are honest with yourself you'll start to attract people who are also in alignment with their true self, and you will develop stronger friendships that are no longer based on working hard to fit in. You'll notice that it really takes no effort at all to be yourself, all you have to do is get out of your own way. If you want to know who you really are, all you have to do is close the door, and whatever happens next, that's the real you.  Just be alone, and let your thoughts pass through you. Take note of the inspirations that come, take note of everything that you think sounds like it would be fun. Those are the things that are what your soul is trying to get you to do. Sure, there will be people who dislike you, but usually they're just jealous that they didn't have the courage to do it themselves, and do you really want those people in your life anyway? The friends who come to you when you constantly live in that state will be amazing, you will find yourself surrounded by people who encourage and inspire you all the time, and that is what will make you truly happy.

Question: What is your passion?
