我从第一次在劳伦·希尔（Lauren Hill）的《间奏曲5》（Interlude 5）中听到这句引言起，就深深喜爱它。

青少年时期，我曾苦苦挣扎于自我认同，有时甚至牺牲真实的自己，只为融入他人。这反而让我更加困惑。但随着年岁增长，我愈发明白：始终做自己，永远是更好的选择。这或许意味着你与大众的契合度降低了，但最终你会更幸福。随着年龄增长，我的信仰也一同成长；当我日益亲近基督，我也同时逐渐显露出真实的自我。生命中曾发生在我身上的种种事件，开始变得清晰可解；那些曾困扰我的问题——比如“为何我必须经历这些？”——也一一得到回应。原来，基督以某种方式将这一切用于塑造我今日的性格与人格。

我越亲近我的创造者，就越能理解自己被造的方式。

祂使用我所有的缺陷、所有的磕绊、所有的伤痕，成就更宏大的旨意。

他人无法理解我的地方，或使我偏离流行趋势的特质，

恰恰是我最爱的自身特质。

正是这些，使我独一无二。

所以，请聆听你创造者的呼声——

正如劳伦·希尔所言：“那声音，那正确的声音”，让它告诉你，你究竟是谁。

你自以为的“错误之处”，或许正是祂用以使你成长为更好之人的关键所在。

做真实的自己

I have loved this quote by Lauren Hill since the first time I heard it on her

Interlude 5.

I struggled as a youth with my own identity and would sometimes sacrifice my true self in order to fit in with other people. This left me even more confused. But, as I grew older I found out more that it is always better to just be yourself all the time. It may mean that you fit in less with the mass, but you will be happier in the end. As I grew older my faith grew with me. As I became closer to Christ, I realized that I began to reveal parts of myself at the same time. Things that had happened to me throughout my life began to make sense. Questions I had about why I had to go through things that I did were answered. They were all used by Christ in some way to mold my character and personality today.

The closer I grow to my Creator, the closer I grow to understanding how I was created.

He uses all my flaws, all my bumps, all my bruises for a greater purpose.

The things that others did not understand about me, or that set me apart from what was popular

are some of this things I love best about myself.

They are what makes me unique.

So,  listen to the voice of your creator,

as Lauren Hill said, "that voice, the right one", and let it tell you who you are.

The things you think are wrong might be the very things He uses to make you a better person.
