"The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong." ~Mahatma Gandhi


I question many things in this world, but there is one that conquers all.
How does one define, "Different"?

I do not dress like you, so I am awry.
I do not act like you, so I am unusual.
I do not ruin my life, like you, so I am futile.

Have you ever opened your eyes, and seen through this fictitious realm you have created to blind yourself from true reality?

Obviously not.

If you did have true sight, you would see that although we are not alike, I still have attained true happiness.

I do not create an alter-ego if you will, just for acceptance.

Ask yourself one question...

Are you really who you say you are?
Or just another product of your own lies?

Are you a fake?

Quite good, though I wouldn't agree with some of your word choices, but that could just be personal opinion.

You dont even know. This is EXACTLY how I feel about a lot of people I know. I just want to scream, "GROW UP!" You know what I'm sayin'?

There's no god. There's no religion. There's only life, what you do with YOUR life, who YOU let affect YOUR life. Bad things happen to everyone, you just have to learn to deal with them.

I love your work. It makes me feel like someone actually sees the world for how it really is. Please keep writing.
