BEING TRUE TO YOURSELF

Skeletor, Overlord

Once again I bless you all with my presence. And this time just in time for the holidays, the most wonderful time of the year. Oh, who am I kidding, the holiday’s are a rush of consumerism, family meetings that go awry, and mayhem. Depression is up during this special time of the year. It’s just a great time in general. Normally I would be plotting some scheme to take over castle Grayskull while He-Man and She-Ra are busy setting up for Christmas, but this year I’ve decided to do something not quite as fun, or effort filled. I will share my fantastic skill in being myself with all of you.

Now before we divulge into me, I should explain to you simple boobs what being true to yourself actually means. The ‘yourself’ in this statement isn’t you as you are, but the you you really resonate with. You may spend all your simple life playing a sport, but if you don’t feel that the sport isn’t right for you, if deep down it just doesn’t feel right, then you know that you shouldn’t be doing it. Not what other people say. Don’t let yourself be chained down by the opinions of others, don’t let those idiots stop you from being yourself. That doesn’t mean drop everyone, because you can use them later on. But rather, don’t let others opinions of you or your actions stop you from from doing what’s true to you. I am wholesomely evil, and no one can stop me from being evil, not the school, not Randor, not that muscle boy He-Man, not even Beastman, that mangey fool.

Scientist hard at work have found that when you aren’t being yourself, when you’re being what someone wants you to be, or what you make yourself to gain the approval of others, that you suffer. You suffer both emotionally and physically, you become more depressed and anxious, it causes lapses in activity. You get yourself in a rut. You just end up lounging and doing nothing.

Now you may be wondering; “Why does Skeletor care about my general health? That seems awfully out of character for him?”. Well then you should shut that trap of yours, and keep reading and stop asking questions that I won’t bother to answer. I care because happy civilians are efficient civilians. And because an unhappy person or lethargic person won’t be motivated by negative reinforcement. And happy civilians won’t cause an uprising when they are unsatisfied with my regime. Because they remember that time when I helped them all with their personal issues and say “Aw gee, that Skeletor guy really helped us out, why don’t we give him a chance”.

Now as I was saying, Why would you spend all that time doing nothing when you have so many things to do. Why? Why would you simpletons waste all that time. Time is precious. Find something that you love, like books. Whenever you don’t feel like yourself, do what does make you feel like yourself! And I’m not talking about solving your problems with drugs either, because those change your mindset so you stop being connected with yourself. Have that non-drug thing that you like and whenever you feel out of it and like you’ve lost yourself you can do that thing. With me it’s books. I LOVE BOOKS, THEY ARE THE TRUE POWER OF THE UNIVERSE!

But I digress, as you should know by now, that I have my own motives for writing this. But don’t worry yourself about the reasons behind why, but focus on how my wonderful information can help you. You can change yourself, you can be who you really want to be, and being true to yourself helps you more than anything. Be comfortable with your own skin, and embrace what makes you you. That is the truly true strength of the universe. Now I feel shame, that was too cliche even for me. Just be yourself. That’s all I have to say. Catch you on the flip side suckers.
