Everyone want to become the best version of themselves but what it mean to be the best version of oneself. Does it mean that you become the perfect human being who can do nothing wrong or you display only those emotions that presents you in a good light and suppress the emotions that you think will make you look weak or not likeable.
When someone is going through a hard day or rough week it is natural to feel sad. Sometimes people are not able to handle the stress and they breakdown. If the feelings are too overwhelming that breakdown can happen in front of other people too. A person having these feelings and breaking down thinks that this is not right and that he/she needs to become a better version of himself/herself. But does that person really need to feel bad about having those emotions.
Everyone goes through some hard times in their life. These times are part of our journey. It shapes our character and make us the person we are meant to be. People think that having emotions like anger, stress or not being in a good mood without any reason, are our weaknesses and we need to become better. Although it is true that we should be able to overcome such emotions but that does not mean we need to totally discard our emotions and somehow become more better version.
It is okay to feel angry or sad because these feelings are part of us too and it is also okay to show these emotions. We cannot just suppress them in order to become a “best version of ourselves”. Suppressing our feelings can do more harm than good. You shouldn’t feel sorry about yourself for displaying your emotions. Every feeling you have is part of you and your life. If you try to showcase selective emotions or feelings then you will do wrong to yourself.
Every emotion and experience is going to make you a person which you think is the best version of yourself. You cannot choose to not have certain emotions and think that you have become a better person. The life gives you experiences which are necessary for you to become a person that you are destined to be.
