When I was in middle school and some of high school all I wanted was to fit in and I never did. I tried to change myself and it didn't work, people still didn't like me. I realized I had two options: be who I was, and not fit in, or be somebody I wasn't, and still not fit in.

I decided if I wasn't going to be accepted, I could at least be who I wanted to be and like myself if no one else would.
