"Goodbye my lover, goodbye my friend"

It's easy talking about success.
But it is more didactic when you talk about success after having failed.
Remember what I said to you about the exam for the delegation? I did it.
Passed it. Went to the interview. Got the job.
My secret?
Being myself.

Last year, I went to the interview trying to be what I thought they wanted for the position. I pretended. I acted. I tried as hard as I could to show them that I was what they needed.
This year, I was myself. I went in there to sell myself. To show them, not who they wanted, but who I am. I made them understand that what you see is what you get. And they liked me more than last's year 'perfect' girl.
What I want to tell you is, well, someone has what you want. And you have what someone else wants. Someone is out there looking for you. You are what others need. Not a perfect person. You. With all your flaws and mostly, your virtues.

I have learned that I shall never pretend to be something I'm not in order to get a job, a friend.. Never ever again... I will be myself, and surely, they will like me. I'll have something they need.

Don't be afraid. If they don't choose you, it's not because you're bad, but because there is something better that needs you.
Be loyal to yourself. Be happy. Be joyful. Be free to say what you mean. Everywhere. Anytime. No restrictions when it comes to saying your opinion. Be bold. Live. Love. LAUGH.

I'm going to the beach tommorrow, so I'll be completlely out of internet for a few days.
Let you know when I'm back.
I'll miss writing to whoever is reading.
