"Oh, I think we would just stare each other down."
I never really put this rather inquisitive thought into consideration, well, maybe for a little bit. Or at least not seriously. Not much, until now.
This should be more of a tug-of-war on the issues of "being yourself" or "being universally likeable." Where I seek to find the perfect balance, without having to put too much strain upon myself.
Some say, just be yourself and the right people will love you as you are; real love and friendship knows no requirements. Some say, put importance in what people expect of you for this will make you gain much favor and allow you to gain their trust.
So, which do you think makes more sense?

How about we put it this way... How do you think does He see you? Now that would put a lot of things into a brand new light.
As you strive to gain His favor while being the person He created you to be, you will find the right kind of favor from the right kind of people.
No more fuss.
Goodnight!
