The Way I Am By Charlie Puth – My Love Playlist

I’ve spent most of my life as a shape shifter. I’ve spent decades constantly trying to anticipate everyone else’s needs, wants and frustrations. Then I’d mold myself into the person who can give the other person what they want and need, and try to take away their frustrations. Turns out there’s a name for it.

Codependency.

That’s why my mission is so important to me. To share strategies that worked for me and help others build self love and self-LIKE and become who you really want to become. To become someone you can be proud of. Someone who doesn’t need the admirations or praise from others to feel good. Until you do the inner work and discover who you are and what you truly want to create in your life, you will keep attracting the same type of people over and over again.

I remember on John and my second date, I just threw up all over him. I told him I was molested, I had a bankruptcy, foreclosure, repo, and debt because if any of that was going to be a deal breaker for him, then I didn’t want to even go on a third date. Much less, waste any of our precious time or energy. I wanted to be honest. And you know what he said?

“I was molested, too.”

WHAT? I was stunned.

Now, I’m not suggesting that as a great strategy (to throw up all your secrets on the second date) but it was so liberating! I still can’t believe how any of it happened with John and me. But, I do know that it took me 40 years to tell the truth about myself. To reveal to another man who I really was. What my struggles were, what my weaknesses are.

That’s why I like this song. I know he’s not talking about relationships per se… but once we can get to the place where we don’t care if someone hates us or loves us, only then can we attract people who really love us for who we are. I mean, 50% of all people won’t like us anyway, so don’t pay them NO MIND.

So, if you need a little inspiration or you need a great soundtrack for the life that you are creating right now, check out my love playlist! That’s why I created it and put it on Spotify to share with you!

Maybe I’ma get a little anxious
Maybe I’ma get a little shy
‘Cause everybody’s trying to be famous
And I’m just trying to find a place to hide (oh)

All I wanna do is just hold somebody
But no one ever wants to get to know somebody
I don’t even know how to explain this
I don’t even think I’m gonna try

And that’s okay
I promise myself one day
Hey!

I’ma tell ’em all
I’ma tell ’em all that you could either hate me or love me
But that’s just the way I am

I’ma tell ’em all
I’ma tell ’em all that you could either hate me or love me
But that’s just the way I am

That’s just the way I am
That’s just the way I am
That’s just the way I am
That’s just the way I am

Maybe I’ma get a little nervous
Maybe I don’t go out anymore (oh)
Feelin’ like I really don’t deserve this (-serve this)
Life ain’t nothing like it was before (ain’t nothing like before)

‘Cause all I wanna do is just hold somebody
But no one ever wants to get to know somebody
If you go and look under the surface (surface)
Baby, I’m a little insecure

And that’s okay (baby, now, that’s okay)
I promise myself one day
Hey!

I’ma tell ’em all
I’ma tell ’em all that you could either hate me or love me
But that’s just the way I am

I’ma tell ’em all
I’ma tell ’em all that you could either hate me or love me
But that’s just the way I am

That’s just the way I am
That’s just the way I am
That’s just the way I am
That’s just the way I am

I’ma tell ’em all (that’s just the way I am)
I’ma tell ’em all that you could either hate me (that’s just the way I am)
or love me (that’s just the way I am)

But that’s just the way I am

Am, am
Yeah, this is what you wanted
Oh, this is what you wanted
I am, am, am
Yeah, this is what you wanted
Oh, this is what you wanted all along
Everybody’s trying to be famous
And I’m just trying to find a place to hide (Hey!)

I’ma tell ’em all
I’ma tell ’em all that you could either hate me or love me
But that’s just the way I am

I’ma tell ’em all
I’ma tell ’em all that you could either hate me or love me
But that’s just the way I am

That’s just the way I am (Maybe I’ma get a little anxious)
That’s just the way I am (Maybe I’ma get a little scared)
That’s just the way I am (‘Cause everybody’s trying to be famous)
Even though that’s just the way I am

I’ma tell ’em all (that’s just the way I am)
I’ma tell ’em all that you could either hate me or love me
But that’s just the way I am
