Unsent Letters #6

Why is it that you think you know me? Why do you criticise how I act all the time?

I try so hard to be the best person I can be. For you, for my friends, for the benefit of those around me. I try to be composed, calm, collected. But what actually happens is that I start filling up, with energy that needs to be released through moments of joy. And when do these moments happen? Well it just happens to be when I’m with my friends.

Well I’m sorry that I’m ‘happier’ as you call it with my friends. It just so happens that it’s when I’m with my friends that I feel alive, that I can be myself. Express myself without being judged because all of my friends are equally crazy. So despite what you say, I want change, I’m gonna stay the same because it is who I am. I am me. A loud, thoughtful, emotion filled, child of God who wants to make the most of her life by enjoying every moment that she can.

That is who I am, so deal with it.
