think

i always do what i believe is right for me, or at least i try to. some people criticize me, some people applaud me. more often than not whether they do so is a reflection of their opinion and usually shallow understanding of who i am as a person. or at least who i am striving to be. i am not the "nice girl" all the time that is always happy and always kind no matter what. but that does not mean i am the "egotistical jerk" just because i stick up for myself and don't always do what others want me to. there are so many traits and aspects that make up "me" that i won't even spend time describing them. and i would hope that everyone else would consider themselves the same in that regard. we are not always happy. we are not always sad. we are not always angry or mean or spiteful or gentle or kind or patient or silly or immature or wise or good in the way other people define good or bad in the way other people define bad. we are never any of those things all the time. in fact, i tend to think we are all those things to certain people at certain times.
