if i must give one piece of advice in this world, it would be "embrace yourself". and not the kind of embracing that involves an awkward pat on the back, but the kind where you realize the inner weirdo that is your brilliant self. the kind where you realize yourself as not a part of this world, but as your own addition. something that the universe lacked, you are reinvented from old matter to be what this world needs you to be.
yes, i am my own oddball, the girl who wanted to be a radish for halloween in 5th grade, who insisted on making her own cow-printed skirts and wrote poetry that would scare a psychologist. i know what drives me, excites me, angers me, and what i can withhold from this unforgiving world. and i take that all in and manipulate that to be the person who i want to be. because why else would i be created for any other purpose than to contribute to this bizarre concoction of life here?
