Okay, so here's what I've learnt 17 yrs of my life, besides the endless cycle of, eat.... sleep... regret and...repeat.
BE YOURSELF. You'r limited edition. Period. The thing is, everyone says the very same words over and over again, we believed in it, we had to. But did you really know What it meant? Nah I don't think so..you try to not care of what others  think of you, because it keeps you away from showing people the person you truly are. This person, i know is hiding somewhere ,impatiently waiting to burst outside this endless pretentious facade.So the question is, who is the real you? You just wait n see, I'm sure you'll figure it out soon. It takes time, heck i'm still figuring myself out!
Yes, being judged is one of our greatest fears, no doubt especially by people you associate with, or even good friends. but tell me, if they really mean a great deal to you, why do you still fear there judgments? 
yes, their opinions would mean a lot, but if they where your treasure n treasured back, would they really judge you to that extent? think twice, are those people really worth being treasured by you? your better than that. 
so here's what you've gotta do, follow your heart, do what u do best, n triumph in it. You are your own star, you've got every right to shine, who knows you could even end up becoming venus one day!
