You change yourself to impress others? Should I give up myself?

Today I read a really food quote:

"Don't ever change just to impress someone. 

Change because it makes you a better person 

and 

leads you to a better future."

Isn't it great!

I think, sometimes it is hard to make difference between changes for yourself or changes for others. I had similar cases till I realized, that makes no sense if I want to be something different who I am.

Lets give you a simple example. You love painting, you paint what you see, what you feel. But your boyfriend just doesn't like it, nobody knows why not. As he always finds something to distract you from painting, slowly you give up to sit down and paint. He is happy, you start to get used to the situation. But with the time, you will realize, your boyfriend can not fill the hole what he caused, saying not to paint. So, you come to the point, where you have to decide. Tell to your friend, you will continue painting and he should accept it or leave, or you continue suffering and not doing what you love just because he doesn't like it (he is jealous of your talent, passion, not having time with him during painting, etc.). It is up to you, you are your own boss and you determine your steps in your present. Your LIFE, your DECISION!  

For example, with me happened, I wanted to change who I am because of my actual friend.
But as everybody has an own personality, after a time this personality will claim for its own right. You don't feel at the beginning, that something is wrong. You just try your best, to be somebody who you are not. Maybe, even you will enjoy this kind of "experience". But after some weeks, months, you realize something is not good, something makes you sad, depressed, makes you cry. Than you start to remember, your brain makes you remember what you miss. More and more pictures come up and comes the big WOW I miss my old version.

If somebody loves you, they won't expect to change. Yes, I know it seems silly and like a common saying, but it is true. If you see the other person not through a pink glass, you will know how he/she is in the reality. You will see the annoying thins, you will see the failures and you can decide if you accept them or not. But remember, there is no one perfect. We are humans, everybody has failures.

Remember, YOU DECIDE about YOUR LIFE. You decide, if you let the control out of your hands and put it into others' hands. But if you let it, do not complain that was your decision! 

Just make yourself remember, YOU DECIDE!
