be yourself
don't care what other people think about you.
just be yourself.
if they don't like you, that's their problem.
they aren't worth your friendship.
they may say that you are weird.
so what.
put them in your shadow.
then they seem weird.
the point of comparison is always changing.
so they don't want to have anything to do with you.
like i said before, that's their problem.
i used to hang out with the "in" crowd.
that tended to get boring.
"does my make-up look okay?"
"do you think he likes me?"
i decided to go find some friends who i like being around.
they never say that i am weird or that i am different.
they always listen to me when i have something to say.
they like to read what i write.
they know that i won't be hurt when they criticize my work.
they understand me, even though we may seem to be complete
opposites.
they stand by me.
we know that we can be ourselves and still leave an impression.
