“Don't try so hard to fit in, and certainly don't try so hard to be different just try hard to be you.”
— Zendaya
Simplified Meaning:
The idea here is that people should focus on being themselves rather than trying to fit into a group or trying hard to look unique. Imagine if you were in school and you saw that all your friends were wearing the same kind of shoes, so you felt you had to get those shoes too, even if you didn't really like them. Or, you might try so hard to stand out that you would wear something really unusual that didn't feel like you at all, just to be noticed. Instead, it's best to wear the shoes you truly love and feel comfortable in, whether they're trendy or not. This way, you are being honest about who you really are. When you are true to yourself, you feel more relaxed and people are more likely to like you for who you really are. It’s like when an artist paints from their heart without worrying about what is popular or different, their work feels genuine and often resonates more with people. In life, whether it’s your clothes, your hobbies, or your job, choosing what truly makes you happy and what truly represents you will make you more content.
