Sorting through the insides
We are like sculptors, constantly carving out of others the image we long for, need, love or desire, often against reality, against their benefit, and always, in the end, a disappointment, because it does not fit them. - Anais Nin
**There have been quite a few people in my life, who I could only disappoint for not changing into the image that they wanted of me.
Many people feel that mass acceptance and smooth socialization are desirable life paths for a young adult... Many people are often wrong... Don't bother being nice. Being popular and well liked is not in your best interest. Let me be more clear; if you behave in a manner pleasing to most, then you are probably doing something wrong. The masses have never been arbiters of the sublime, and they often fail to recognize the truly great individual. Taking into account the public's regrettable lack of taste, it is incumbent upon you not to fit in. - Janeane Garofalo
**I don't always like Janeane.... but I am lately trying to find comfort in not being acceptable to everyone - even those that I really wanted acceptance from.

Only one person should dictate who you should be, who you should feel.
That person is you. Be happy with yourself and to hades with the rest of us. ;)
Keep up the fight. And when you feel yourself falling, remember you have people near by to help you back to your feet.
i accept you. and i don't accept the others who don't accept you.
so there.
