"Love all, trust few, do wrong to none"...

Haven't posted in a while.

....and by "a while" I mean like four days, but whatevs.

Brogan has confirmed that many of my posts are just in response to his, which I find hilarious. Or they're angry rants about people who shall remain nameless, but they're mostly in response to things he's written. I joked I should just rename my blog (for the third time) "In which I reply to Brogan's blog" since it seems to be fairly accurate.

I won't. Mostly because I don't remember how to, but also because I like my blog. It's a little bit like a hair cut, and I finally got it to a place where it doesn't make me look hideous.

No, right now I just want to be content with myself where I'm at. In all aspects of my life. I want to be happy with my attitude and my body and my place in this world, whatever it may be. I want to step out into the world and be proud of myself, of what other people see in me, in what I know I can do and what I do.

Everyone should want this, and everyone deserves this. How sad and crushing would life be if we couldn't be proud of ourselves? If no one else could be proud of us? My friend Kamille has a really great policy that, the more I hear it, the more I want to apply it to my own life: "You can't love anyone else until you love yourself".

Love yourself, love everything there is about you, faults and all, because when you sit down and think about it, there's no one else in the world like you. Sure, most of us will never grow up to be the next Gandhi, or Mother Teresa, or Truman Capote, but what's to stop us from trying? What's out there keeping us from being exactly who we are, and loving every bit of it? Sure, we aren't going to be perfect, and we aren't going to be successful immediately, and sometimes life isn't going to go the way we want it to, but why let that stop you?

I'd like to believe that one day I'll be something greater than I am now, even if it's only by a little bit. I'd like to believe that I'll come to a place where I can be completely happy, regardless of where I stand in life.

Oh, and just so I can reference Brogan yet again, even if things are shit now, keep your head up because things will always get better!
