Well said, Tigerlily! I try much too hard to fit into people's expectations of me. How people know me depends on where I go. Most of you here know me as Aosama, the Wandering Star; at home I'm Tasha to my parents and Tashee to my sister; at school there is a person who only knows me for my IQ and therefore has dubbed me "smartchick". There is someone I am, when I'm alone and no one is there to define me. That person exists, I'm just still trying to find her right now. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Imagination makes me who I am. I would have perished long ago if I were not able to take myself away from people and be someone else who isn't bothered by humanity's problems and doesn't care what others think. Imagination is how I'm actually able to survive Middle School. Don't let anyone kill your imagination by saying that it isn't 'cool' or that it is 'impossible'; I consider it very lame that they feel they have to tear others down to feel any good about themselves. My opinion and my advice is: Don't ever let anyone tell you who you are. Only you know that. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
