Esse Quam Videri: to be rather than to pretend. The truth is, we all pretend to be or not to be something from time to time. However, it's those of us brave souls that refuse to live a version of ourselves that isn't true. Being means honest expression. This can be difficult however and the opposition is sure to come. Like it says in D.R.O.P.S., "happiness is a reflection of an honest you".
