Its definitly a good way to live. Just to expand on that quote: "This is me damn it! I look the way I look, think the way I think, feel the way I feel, love the way I love! I am a whole complex package. Accept me - or walk away! Do not try to make me feel like less of a person, just because I don't fit your idea of who I should be and don't try to change me to fit your mold." I dont deal well with peoples negative opinions on me on the inside, even though i may look the part on the outside. Its hard to just shut that part of you off, because it does make you who you are - even if you dont like it. Caring too much about what people think of you is has a good and bad side to it. I guess you just have to know who to shut that part of you off for and who to keep it on for.
