Shrinking to Feel Secure,By:Laurie-Ann Poirier

Quotes are quotes, but this form of writing often leave us thinking. Quotes are usually a citation that someone puts in their text to make it more interesting. The quote “Our Deepest Fears” is not just a quote, it has a deep meaning. The line that best describes the message of being yourself no matter what is “There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you.” People should definitely read this quote; it could change their life and they could start being who they truly are.
This line is conveying to always be yourself and if people don't like who you are then you know they aren't real friends. Real friends are supposed to appreciate you for who you really are. When I imagine this line as a picture I see, a girl at school with her two friends bullying another girl, when she goes in the bus, the same girl that was bullying her is nice with her. I see this image because relating to the message of always being yourself no matter what the girl that was bullying didn't stay herself, instead she started bullying just too fit in. I see a lot of people changing themselves just too fit in. When I was younger the same ting happened to me, I got bullied but when they weren't with their friends they were nice and friendly.
It's very sad that people have to change themselves just too fit in, these people could be very nice. The quote “Our Deepest Fear” demonstrates this powerful meaning very well. People should definitely read this quote, it could change their lives; people could actually change and start being themselves.
