I am me, how long does it take to admit that?

When I was a teenager, I always been dreaming of being someone else. I despised myself being that person who has the capacity to achieve my life's effort. I do not trust myself that I can do a certain thing or achieve the most price but then when it happens, I corrected it again. " No it's not me" That time I started to believe that I can do more while I can pretend to be someone else. But when the person I idolize turns out to be not that much, I doubt myself again and look for a new shadow to stand to. Nonetheless, I grow tired of stepping into others feet. I regain my courage to be me, first I was fearful , afraid for what it may cause. I have a big doubt that Im not at my best when I am with myself. But I realize I slowly lossing my self worth, I am more afraid of hitting the point that I do not know who am I. Then I try, trembling at first but continue holding on to my faith. " I can do it" One morning I wake up, I face the mirror and gasped, oh!! this is me. I ride the bus and great someone he smile and said how are you today? I said great! This is me. He did not understand I know but Im happy. As a person, we tend to idolize someone despising our selfworth, we forget that we are unique individual, we can do something not certain by someone. I am me, you are you? does it take time for you to realize that you are great? Think about it... have a nice day always!!!
