I wish you'd take a step back and realize

Sar, I've known you for forever, and reading through everything you have to say...I've come to the conclusion that you need to hear a couple things for the sake of keeping who you are an important thing..First of all, people pretend to know what love is..its not some random guy that you have a crush on that changes from week to week. I can't tell you that I am an expert of love, because what I thought was love, completley tore out my heart. But you can't act like you have had everything taken away from you when you havent had the chance to lose everything you have had..its like you cant really know what true happiness is until you have felt an utter let down, something that just wrecks your whole entire world...Secondly, I realize that you are waiting for the "special someone" or that event that is going to magically change your life..something I've learned from 2 more years of experince is that if you wait for it...its never going to come. You have to stick your head out a little bit..there isnt any point in waiting for some guy to make YOU happy when YOU can't even make yourself happy..as corny as it sounds you can't love someone else until you like who you are and accept who you are. You may think your life is complicated and all thrown to shit, but I know a couple more people who have it a 100x worse than you do. I know it sucks to hear this but suck it up, these are the cards you have been dealt and instead of sitting here and wallowing in this self-doubt and pity, get out there and use these cards you've been given to your advantage..it's time to learn how to show em' your poker face. And I know that there are certain things in your life that you would much rather change than to have to deal with every single second of everyday..then that is exactly what you have to do..CHANGE THEM. And as for the things you can't change, you need to change your perspective on them. Lastly..i can not emphasize this enough, BE YOURSELF! Don't go into life wanting to fit in with the crowd and be everyone else. Because chances are, the people that are outside of the norm are taking away so much more than the ordinary ones...You don't owe anything to anyone and you shouldn't walk through life with the feeling that everyone is looking down upon you..everything you have accomplished is a direct result of the things and places you have gotten yourself to. Don't be afraid to not be what people expect.
