True to Yourself

True to yourself. 

When author Ray Bradbury was a boy his classmates made fun of him because he collected Buck Rogers comic books. He reacted by tearing them up and throwing them away. But by the next day he felt incredibly sad because he felt as if someone had died; namely himself. 

It was as if he had torn up not only his beloved comic books, but his future as well. He soon began a new collection of Buck Rogers comic books, and went on to devote his life to writing including science fiction.  From then on he refused to listen to the voices of his classmates when it came to what he loved to do. "What did I learn? To be myself and never let others, prejudiced, interfere with my life." He went on to encourage others to do the same. "Be your own self. Love what YOU love." 

What do you love?
