i don't even want to be really successful in life. i don't want to be the best at anything, i never wanted to be the best at anything. i remember in elementary school i would do things to avoid getting 'student of the month' or anything that would make me have to walk across the auditorium in front of my little 4th grade world. i'm still like that, i avoid doing good to avoid getting credit.
it sounds stupid to a lot of people. it doesn't sound stupid to me. it sounds natural. this guy was telling me how he wants to become really successful by doing the exact opposite of what's expected. like he'll learn everything he can from books, and become everything everyone else has from college, only on his own.
i think i want to do that, only instead of avoiding college, i'll just avoid getting credit for anything that i do. i'll do these incredibly wonderful things with my life, only i will be the only person who knows about it. people already make their assumptions, so it would be easy to let them think what they want. right? maybe.
i'm up for it. i'm up for anything but being stuck in my house like this. i'm really sick. sick enough to sleep away my entire day. sick enough to gag at every single thing in my refrigerator. sick enough to go public again. i'm sure you all knew i'd never last that friends-only business. blah/blah.
i guess i'm done with this. i'll talk to all of you later.
love,liz.
