What is True Strength?

I was watching Ouran High School Host Club when I came across this phrase when Suou Tamaki was talking to Hani-senpai in episode 18.

To me, this phrase means a lot... so I thought of sharing it.

"What is true strength?"
"..to hide your true self and make a vain display, I think that is just running away from reality. To know what you are really like and acknowledge it... a positive thinking of enjoying yourself, isn't that what true strength is?"

Well.. I was having a chat with Dear recently about how I can act so differently in front of some people and others. The change in my behaviour and attitude is significantly different, and frankly speaking I find myself tire of all these pretenses. Throughout my life, I have suddenly become a person who's so afraid of how people see me that I lost my true self trying to be a person that is acceptable in front of everyone. Because of this, I realised that I find no meaning to get to know more people since I have to create a fascade everytime.

It is a little too difficult to change the way things are right now, but I am going to make sure that once I start anew in a school next time, things are definitely going to change.

Who knows I will be more adept at managing a class with the true me.. ^_^
