I can understand more than anybody why people want to change themselves to fit in with everyone and be "normal" because everyone goes through that phase, but you have to realize (and I'm talking to someone specific, they know who they are) that being "different" and "weird" is the way to be. Do you ever here someone say "Yooo! I'm so cool because I'm normal!" Normal is another word (to me) for boring, predictable and common. Who wants to be common? I think that you're my friend because you arent afraid to be different, and thats a quality i really admire about you. Just because people think you're "different" it doesnt mean you're bad, or evil (although I know you would love to be). It means that they are judging you before they get to know you, and its their loss if they dont want to be your friend. BUT, if you really are thinking about...changing yourself for yourself, then I think you should give it a go, experiment with that again. I kno that the road that you're on is hard, extremely because everyone persecutes you for being who you are. Well, you know that I am here, and I know that you have a shiet load of people out there for you. So if you're seriously thinking about changing yourself, do it for yourself.

Another thing that I've been thinking about lately is still friendships, what the hell is up with them? I dont think I should settle for these shitty ass friendships. And you know whta the problem with them is? Communication. We dont speak our minds, we watch our mouths, and we have to be careful around each other. I certainly know how it feels for people to not communicate with you, and not tell you whats on their minds, because I'm living that right now. Hopefully i can change that. True friends do NOT keep secrets from each other. Even if friends have the best intentions of helping, for "Your own good" or to "Protect you". No, I'm sorry, but I'm a big boy, I can tie my shoes and take a piss by myself and everything. Let me have a chance to protect myself, and let me have a say in whats good for me and whats not. I'd like to think that I'm a really approachable person. Maybe some people get the impression that I'm not, but I am, if you come to me passively, civily, not with swords drawn and shouting battle cries at the top of your lungs. To all my friends reading this. PLEASE tell me if you think something is going on with us, something wrong, even something good. I dont like the feeling of losing friendships, i dont like the feeling of not knowing whats going on between us. I think all my friends are on a close enough level that we can be honest with each other. I really hate to think that a friend would misinterpret something and then be upset about it, and not even think about my side (Shaddup Sandy, I know you're sorry, this isnt about you =P). I would hate to see a perfectly good friendship go down the drain because of something stupid like that. I know that a lot of my friends are becoming distant, and I just talked to one of them, and things turned out alright. I suspected something was up, but it was only my over-analysing, but it could have killed our friendship. Communication maybe hard to deal with, but it's essentiel for a good friendship to survive.
