I Came. I Saw. I Conquered.
What does it mean to be myself?Who am I?To be myself in a world that is constantly trying to make me something else, is the greatest accomplishment I think I have made. Imperfection is my beauty without makeup.Madness is my genius, without hiding it just to be popular.I believe it's absolutely better to be absolutely ridiculous than to be absolutely boring.I was born an original.And I don’t plan on dying a copy.Because I know deep down that...Someone will always be prettier.Someone will always be smarter.Someone will always be younger.However, they will never be me.I walk the halls of my high school.I see the teenagers taking their selfies.I see them texting their love paragraphs.I see them tweeting their feelings.But how is that true? How is this true?How can you trust someone who sits behind a wall, a wall of glass?I have to live in this life with questions,With fears,With concerns.But that’s what I came for in this life.That’s how I see things in my life. And this is how I will conquer it.By being me.
