Keeping Up Your Persona !

It's natural for people to learn new things to impress their "fellow" beings. It could start with learning a new language or adopting a particular food habit or even adopting a new fashion trend. The desperate urge to adapt oneself to impress the other ceases once the other is "impressed" but what next? After that how do you carry yourself forward. Things or habits adopted just for the sake of getting into the good books of others are not necessarily those which give you satisfaction beyond a point. You as an individual have an identity of your own, which appears lost when you seek to satisfy your craving to impress another. How long will you just give up on your self? What if the person doesn't like you for the change you have done to yourself? But likes you just for your originality.

Looking at married women cribbing on losing their originality post-marriage is acceptable. Of course adjustments are necessary for a relationship to work. But do remember a relationship should not be an adjustment by itself. It's meant to add spice and flavor to your life, not meant to burn your tongue.
