Elegant Symphony Simplicity is the Ultimate Sophistication...

Here's something I don't understand. It's the reason why people have an undying need to try to impress me. Does this happen to anyone else? People always want to make sure I notice things or brag exceptionally hard when I'm around. It even seems to happen with perfect strangers. I really hate to sound like an asshole or self-aggrandizing but I don't care. Yes, I like nice things but I have the things that I own because I like them. Not to impress others. I don't spend loads of money on things but I do have unique tastes that I guess appear really expensive and refined when in actuality most of it is dirt cheap (I shop wisely).

At any rate, I believe this can be used as an example as to why a lot of people fail to find true happiness in this world. They spend their lives doing things because of what others around them think or trying to impress someone instead of what truly makes them happy. Be yourself. At all times express who you are. Let people love and accept you for who you truly are instead of for who you believe they think you should be.
