it is like being 1 part supermario, 1 part spiderman, and 1 part ash ketchum
strange
tiring
awkward
its weird being taller than everyone
being me is tough, but i get through it and make the most out of life and try to have a positive out look
well i suppose mmine's like... outta this world
random, crazy, fun, boring, and pretty much lives for music
It's alittle boring. I have 3 friends, two of which are also [name]'s friends and one who I met at school who contacts me every month or so. I watch alot of cartoons on Nickelodeon..and it makes me feel like I'm 12. I have a severe self-esteem issue. I can be satisfied with myself for about 5 minutes a day before I put myself down again. I can't stand getting a final grade below a B and..well..I suppose it can sometimes be nice to be me?
hey it's like pretty cool
Pretty boring, layed back, lazy.
Stressful
Exciting
Full of insecurities
Confused
Exhausting
Adventurous
Frustrating
Musical
Full of God
Happy
Perfect.
right now, not so good? i don't know
it sucks.
it sucks
terrible
ahahahah
it's very boring
and overly dramatic
i imagine that it's something similar to being a cat.
laze around, eat, scratch stuff, kill a bird occasionally
s'pretty much me
Eh.
There's some frantic joy, a lot of self-reflection that usually turns into hopeful daydreaming or self-cannibalizing, pretty good music playing in my head most hours of the day, however there's great chunks of disappointment in the romance department, followed by begrudging optimism or doomsday defeatist grumblings.
ok, i don't even know where to begin... i mean, if your asking whether or not i enjoy my life, then the answer is yes. i love it. granted i've done stupid things that i probably shouldn't have, but i don't believe in regrett...
it is confusing, but i wouldn't want to be anyone but me. being me feels beautiful but it is a constant striving for perfection without rest. it's a lot of searching and a lot of longing. I’d like to think of it as a song that makes no sense until you finally get to the chorus and it's the prettiest thing you've ever heard...only, I haven’t heard the chorus yet.
wonderful
To be me....
I am the luckiest girl in the world in that I have a family that loves me, friends that honestly care about me, and I have been incredibly blessed with so many things in my life.
But at the same time, I wouldn't wish my life on anyone else.
To lose someone you love and that loves you unconditionally is the worst feeling in the world.
To be me....is to be wonderfully tragic.
awesome
complicated
very complicated
trust me
it's fun, it's boring, it's difficult at times, it's easy at times. i have my proud moments, and my shameful ones. i love who i am yet at the same time i hate myself. happy/sad, loving/hateful. i'm nervous sometimes, yet constantly confident. there is nothing else similar to being ..me
