Novel & Cerita Just Be Yourself Quotes

"When I proudly raised my hand during recitation in class, only to come up with a wrong answer. They mocked me after that. I'm too boastful to be wrong." Napaismid ako nang mahina. "Nakakahiya nga." "My turn." He slightly moved. "Motivation mo in life?" "Perhaps to experience true happiness, one must accept the broken self." I can remember that line clearly. And the activity went on. ***

“Don’t compare yourself to anyone.” Napatigil ako. “You think I like you dahil lang sa kung ano yung wala sa’yo?” tanong niya. Umiling ako, pero hindi pa rin ako sigurado. “I like you because you’re you,” dugtong niya. “Yung pagiging makulit mo, pagiging totoo mo, kahit yung pagiging childish mo minsan… lahat ’yon.” Napatingin ako sa kanya, hindi ko alam kung ano ang sasabihin.

Ang landi niya talaga. “First week pa lang ng klase tapos may crush ka na agad? And why you even need to groom yourself so hard just to impress other people. Wake up, girl! You are born goddess. You don’t need make up to make someone likes you. Just be yourself,” I said, giving her pieces of advice. I saw her expression in my peripheral view. Her mouth went agape then became hysterical as she entered the car. She hugged me tightly that almost choke me.

"I won't ask any questions, pero sana paghanda ka na, sabihin mo na saakin kung bakit ganoon. Bakit nila alam ang tungkol sa mama mo at ano ba talaga ang dahilan ng break-up n'yo ni Jam." She nodded at me. Ako naman itong binigyan s'ya ng tipid at sensirong ngiti. I grasp her cold hands in mine. "Hindi mo kailangan ipakilala at ipakita ang sarili mo sa lahat. Hindi mo kailangan hangarin na sana lahat ay magustuhan ka, kaya dapat magpakatotoo ka lang. Kung sinong may gusto sa 'yo at tanggap ka, doon ka. H'wag mong ipilit ang sarili mo sa taong ayaw sa 'yo."

Nakuyuko lang ako pero patuloy na nag-uunahan ang mga luha sa aking pisngi. "Be gentle with yourself, Ma'am. You only have you. If you will not love yourself, who else will? In this life, there are lessons that we need to learn the hard way. But it's okay, life is like that and we need to deal with it. Hindi naman natin pwedeng ipilit ang mga bagay na hindi naman talaga dapat pinipilit."

Hindi ko alam kung anong mas masakit—yung katotohanang tama siya o yung realization na buong buhay ko yata ay iyon mismo ang ginagawa ko. Trying to prove myself. Trying to be enough. Trying to make people acknowledge my worth. "You have nothing to prove to them," he continued quietly. "But you do have something to prove to yourself." Parang may kung anong kumurot sa dibdib ko. Because no one had ever said those words to me before. People always told me to work harder. To be better. To earn respect. But no one ever told me that maybe... I was fighting the wrong battle all this time.

“Saka, hindi ko naman gustong mapahiya ka kapag kasama ako.” Napatigil ako na hinarap pa siya nang maayos. Medyo ako naman ang naoffend sa sinabi niya. “Kailan ko ba sinabi na kinahihiya kita kasama? Dapat ako nga mahiya kasi lagi kitang napapahiya kapag maingay ako.” “I don’t mind.” “What?” “I don’t mind you being yourself, Charlie. It doesn’t bother me at all. Mas gusto nga kitang ganito lang. Yourself. The loud, confident you.”

Henessy wants for him kaya naman she really needs a big makeover. “Grayson, kailangan ko ba talaga tong gawin? Can’t I just be myself. Ang dami kong nababasang qoute sa social media tungkol do’n e.” “Life isn’t a social media na lahat kailangan mong i-explose. You don’t have to follow whatever you see there. Are you that dumb?” Ito na naman po si Mr. Lincoln sa kanyang mga life changing advices. Napangiti na lang tuloy ng hilaw si Rebecca. Makakaangal pa ba siya? Dapat oo lang siya nang oo.

Habang maingat na pinupunasan ang kanyang mga luha, marahang bumulong si Theodore na parang himig na sadyang nilikha para lang sa kanya. "That’s right... that is exactly who you are meant to be. Never be afraid to show the world your true self, because it is the most beautiful thing I have ever known. I will always be here, right beside you, cheering you on and loving every part of you, just as you are.”

"Sometimes we don't need people to accept us. All we need to do is to accept ourselves. That's what matters." "H-Huh?" He smiled before standing up. "You're beautiful, Kelly. Really." -----
