Thoughts

someone who's opinion I've come to value over the years said something that struck a cord the other day.

He said that living life by societies opinion & rules was where he thought he would always end up, that road would be the one he took.

But that somewhere along that path he realized that he would rather live his life by his words, by his opinion, his rules.

I'm not perfect, in fact...I'm pretty fucked up sometimes. I can be 23 going on 40 half the time, and other times I feel like a small creature ripping at anything and everything. I'm messy, emotional and I yell when I get upset or mad. I get mad when people disappoint me. Someone once told me not to expect anything from others because then they wouldn't ever disappoint me...but I think that's a horrible way to look at people. I'm loud, I'm a bit dark & twisted sometimes. As I said...I'm just not perfect.

But through all of that, learning the bad that is me that goes along with the good, I've learned that I don't need to apologize for that. It's simply who I am, it doesn't make it always a good thing...but who else am I supposed to be? Because along with all that bad, there are some really amazing and good things about who I am. Those are the things I treasure, the things that those who love me know me for. And I know that the people that accept me for me, the real me...are the one's that will always be worth fighting for. The others...well some people aren't meant to last forever are they?
