be yourself

The world tells you to be yourself, your parents tell you, ads tell you, everyone tells you but they don't tell you how hard it is to find yourself, how hard it is to find out what it means to be yourself; is being yourself doing what you love for a living or making enough of a living to occasionally do what you love, is being yourself never compromising on anything, actually, before you even get that far when do you find out? Your mind is still changing drastically throughout your 20s so how can you find yourself and be yourself when your self is constantly under attack, it takes a long road for some to find what they want and who they are and some never do, but all the same, they're told to just... be themselves.
