This is grafittied on a wall in Ireland...
"You've got to cry without weeping, talk with out speaking, and scream without raising your voice."
Vincent Van Gogh once said, "I wish they would just take me for who I am."
Henry David Thoreau once said, "A friend is one...who takes me for what I am."
That's been heavy on my heart lately. I just want people to see me for who I really am, and not for who they expect me to be. They expect me to live up to a certain standard. Having two older brothers who were good students and pleasant people, people expect me to be the same way. What if I don't want to be like them. What if I just want to be me! I'm not Curtis! I'm not Brian! I'm STEPHANIE! I want people to appreciate me as Stephanie, not as Curtis and Brian's sister, or Fred and Sandra's daughter. I just want to get away from this place, and go somewhere to where know one will know me or my family, and then maybe they will truely see the real me.
Un Amore Per Sempre!

P.S. Sorry about this afternoon. I didn't mean to make you go crazy. I was just having one of those moments.
