Importance in being you

In self portraits, I believe expressing yourself as who you are is better that expressing who you wish to be. I think if you just express yourself in an image of something you wish of you are not truly showing who you are, but what you want to be. By having an image that represents who you are and not who you wish to be you are expressing yourself in a way showing your true side. Every one has a person or an image that they wish to be some will come close in becoming, but you can only become who you are suppose to be rather than some one you wish to be.
