What I Am

I am flawed
I am perfect
I am selfish
I am selfless
I am solid
I am fluid
I am predictable
I am spontaneous
I am polar opposites
I am a hypocrite
I say something
 but mean something else
I am black and white
I am gray
I hate, love, envy, want
 all for
 unbelievably trivial reasons
There is no logic to me

Stop Being Delusional: Be What You Can Be

There is something wrong when you do something to try to impress somebody. That situation is sad and pathetic. If you have to go out of your way to become somebody you are not, then you are not likely to win anybody's approval. Your friends will think you have changed and those who never liked you will just think that you are trying too hard.

I am not the person trying to win approval. I am the person seeing somebody go out of his comfort zone in order to better fit an ideal that never really did conform to him. I really feel sorry for him.

This leads me to think that becoming somebody who you are not is one of the things that causes disdain. Do not pretend you are the mountains when you are obviously a canyon. Do not think you can fly when you are a fish. Do not think you are this when you are that. What you are is not bad. Even if you are inferior in something, you are much better off trying to work with it rather than trying to pretend that that is not a part of you. People will love you for your honesty instead of regarding you with disdain.
