Be yourself (W. Whitman quote)

I exist as I am, that is enough

If no other in the world be aware I sit content

And if each and all be aware I sit content.

 

One world is aware, and by far the largest to me,

                and that is myself,

And whether I come to my own today or in ten thousand or ten million years,

I can cheerfully take it now, or with equal cheerfulness, I can wait.

                Walt Whitman
