I love my life, and just about everything about it. I have a fantastic family and great friends. I feel like I'm on this huge adventure, dodging obstacles, facing challenges, knowing that there's some amazing destiny at the end of it all.
I used to worry about fitting in, finding a girlfriend, being the best at things, and then I realized that none of it is really worth worrying about. Sure, some things are important, like what you're going to do with your life, but all the social aspects...they're pretty low impact.
Fitting in is a joke. No fits with everyone, and I'm glad I figured that out. I realized that I'd rather be my goofy, nerdy self than any modicum of coolness any day, and that's when I started finding my real friends, people who like me for me and enjoy the same things I do.
I've only ever had one girlfriend, and we broke up a while ago. And I'm fine with that. I'll find someone. It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. There is someone out there for me. I just haven't found her yet.
I have a hard time understanding people who angst about things on a regular basis, and while I can't pretend to understand their situation and what they've been through, I can't help but think that maybe they'd be better off if they just relaxed. As a great star of the small screen once said, "Momentai!" Take it easy. Don't stress. And never be ashamed of you are. That's how I live, and it's worked out great.
