A's blog: "This is who I am."

I am who I am, can't be anyone else. Other people spend so much time trying to be more or less than themselves, and for who or what reason? I've learned that people will respect you more if you don't put on a front or act like you're better or worse than what you are. I realize that that's a little cliche, but it's as close as I can get to an exact answer. I'm sure I'll never understand why some people want to be the center of attention or mimic what others do, but the fact is no one is perfect and no matter how hard you try, you'll NEVER be like that person. Period. Plain and simple. If you want to be like me, look at yourself first, because seriously,what you're truly looking for is lying inside you just waiting to burst free. I can't guide you to that place inside yourself, you have to look for that on your own. You were given everything you'll need to survive this life. No one else holds the keys to that. Just you. So, just be who you're supposed to be...who you want to be and screw being what everyone wants you to be or what they expect you to be. You're in control of your own life, of your own destiny. That's the simple truth.
