  1. Thank you for reblogging this. It’s soo true. When your core is so different from everyone else’s, it’s much harder to be yourself. I often think to my self “how is it that everybody else is so alike. Everybody but me!”. This is exactly what’s been going on with me. Thanks for sharing

      4. Oh, I’m not leaving yet. I’m just getting school stuff done so that I won’t have a problem while I’m on vacay.
        I’ll let you know though. I doubt you’ll miss me… It’ll be hard to stay away from the blogosphere unless I’m in the remote islands with no internet 😉
