A girl in high school once gave me a great piece of advice. "If you want to be liked, be yourself." I agree with that; people getting to know the fake you that you present don't actually know you and when they find out who you are really, they can't be blamed for freaking out.

That is beautiful :) I am glad you found someone who let's you be yourself completely.

I am too. She's perfect for me. :-)

So important to be able to be yourself!

Yes, it is hard, but I have come to realise that ultimately, my being rejected was decided not over who I was, but over the fact that I was hearing impaired.
