What does it mean to you to be you? Can you define it? Do you have the words to explain it?
We all know the phrases. Be comfortable in your own skin. Know yourself. Do what you love, be strong and confident. We use these phrases time and time again because, I suppose, they work. Why else would we use them?
Is it like being in love? When you feel like yourself, do you find it difficult to put into words, even though you know it in your heart?
Oddly, I think I learned how to be me by studying acting. If, on stage, I am supposed to live truthfully, honestly, and in the moment (though with imaginary circumstances), why not apply those principles to my every day life? Then I am being me truthfully, honestly, and in the moment under the real circumstances of the day-to-day.

I don't think that's odd in the least. It makes perfect sense to me. : )
