"I find it hard living in a day and age where people are unwilling to accept who they really are"
- Matthew Lotti
About this Quote
This quote by Matthew Lotti expresses a disappointment with the social pressure to adhere and present oneself in a specific way, rather than being true to one's genuine self. In today's world, there is a consistent barrage of messages and expectations about how we must look, act, and think. This can be incredibly frustrating and make it difficult for individuals to completely welcome and express their real selves. The consequences of conforming can include sensation unfinished, unhappy, and detached from oneself. Lotti's words highlight the value of accepting and celebrating uniqueness and diversity, instead of enforcing narrow norms and requirements.
"The opportunity to create a small world between two pieces of cardboard, where time exists yet stands still, where people talk and I tell them what to say, is exciting and rewarding"
