I'm a frequenter of the banter board, always complaining, being the eternal pessimist. But... you know, there are the good things in the life, the lighter things, the happy things.
I used to always hate being me. I didn't like me. Everything I did, I thought it was flawed. I thought I could never do anything right.
But you know what, within these past fews days, I've realized something.
I am me.
I can detest me, hate me, try to change myself-- but I'll still be me! So why drown in hatred for myself when I can like myself-- when I can know that I'm not changing because I am me, and that's clearly the way it's going to stay.
So now... I just know I'm me, and I don't have to try to be someone else... and I have friends who accept me, people who care about me-- heck, I was home from one day of school and my friend called in the middle of lunch to see what was wrong! People care about me, they don't hate me-- why should I hate me?
I shouldn't.
I am me.
I am proud.
At last.

It's such a wonderful thing to finally accept oneself. I congratulate you throughly. It's great isn't it?

That's really awesome, Carrie. It IS a good feeling, and I'm gonna stop before I say a very cheesy comment.
