I totally agree.
I respect people's personal truths, but I'm under no obligation to follow it. Of course, I might be nitpicking a little bit here. I've had about a dozen people with stage names tell me to be myself. Like umm, what? If being someone else works for you, how are you going to advise me to the contrary? Yeah, it's not advice at that point, it's an insult. It's like a double standard and contradiction rolled into one logical fallacy.
I suppose I'm just ranting now. And I shouldn't take the bait, but I feel like returning the favor. I think people need to log off the internet and go read a book. The bible would be a fine book to read, but really reading any book is better than acting like a stranger's personal shadow.
