It's like that quote: Who am I to be great, beautiful, perfect, etc etc blah...Who are you to NOT? I just gotta get out there and do me. Everything I read says have more confidence, people aren't thinking about you as much as you think they are. They're thinking about themselves. So don't worry, have no fears, screw permission, and just be you. The only limitations you have are the ones you put on yourself....and money. Money is always a cock block. :) Ah well.
I'm really enjoying this little journal of mine lately. I know I've had multiple posts in a day, but who's it going to bother? No one is reading this, and I'm going to enjoy myself dammit. This is who I am, what I think, and these are my faults. Take it or leave it. Bam.
