return to being oneself – 做返自己

this Cantonese idiom means  “return to being oneself”

I first heard this when a friend was describing what happiness meant to her !
It reminds me of the English saying, “be yourself.”  This Hong Kong idiom must have gotten its influence from the West  -  doesn’t sound traditional Chinese to me.

做 =  be,     返 = return to,       自己 =  self
