Are any of us enough? Too much? Trying to be some kind of perfect version of ourselves always just out of reach. 
We edit ourselves all the time. Stopping the swearing in polite company. Makeup and a glittery dress for a night out. Letting the wild out. 
I often wonder if I edit myself too much, to the point I wonder if I was once a chameleon in my past life. Mimicking speech styles and tone of voice. 
Always holding my values, but swayed by the company I keep. After all, we always like people like ourselves. 
I want to try to reduce this unconscious behaviour. Stay true to the presentation of myself I like most. Stop colouring myself in for others comfort. 
Stop being a chameleon.
