Favorite Quote:
If we deny the love that is given to us, if we refuse to love for fear of pain or loss, then our lives will be empty, our loss Greater.

I would rather be me,
Than a preppy queen bee.
I would rather be weird,
Than to be someone feared.
I would rather be smart,
Than to have a bitter heart.
I would rather be real,
Than have to fake to feel.
I would rather be real,
Than to have to fake to feel.
I would rather be me,
Don't you see?
I just want to be me,
And that's who I will be.
