growing up

I used to think that when i got older the world would make so much more sense. But you know what? The older i get, the more confusing it is to me. The more complicated it is to me. My biggest insecurity growing up was that i'd never fit in and that i would always be a reject. I am still a dork but now i've found other dorks to get along with. Standing up for what i believe in ends up being far more important than fitting in to just fit in...

You have to get hurt, that's how you learn. The strongest people out there, the ones who laugh the hardest with a genuine smile, those are the people who have fought the toughest battles. Because they've decided that they're not going to let anything hold them down, they're showing the world who's the boss.
