round peg

Sunday, June 24, 2012

I don't know what made me think of this but I did

When I was younger I use to feel like a round peg trying to fit into square holes.
I wasn't limber couldn't even do a front roll correctly
I wasn't into makeup or clothes (no money for stuff like that even if I was)
Hated going to the beach just to tan (boring)
Didn't know how to dance
Hated gossip ( still do)
Even with my own family I sometimes felt awkward

But now I no longer try to "fit in" nope
ether some one likes me or they don't
I don't have to pretend to be something I'm not

If I can't find a hole I fit into, I'll just get out a drill and make my own
I'm Me and that's good enough

    Absolutely! I love what you had to say! We spend so much time thinking about what we "should" be and not what we are. Thanks for the inspiring thoughts! I like you just the way you are.

    Good for you! I used to feel that way too when I was younger! emoticon But, since SP and of course, getting mature, older, I have learned it isn't worth trying to fit in. I am my own person and I am proud of who I am. If others don't like me, so be it! Move on!
You go Jean...keep it up! You will get to your goal weight and be proud of all that you accomplish! No one or nothing is going to stop us! Right?! emoticon emoticon

    I always have been a no-frills, gossip-hating klutz. Needless to add, I was never Ms. Popularity. But I discovered, the people who like me anyway, warts and all, are the people who really do like me--not who or what I pretend to be--and they stay true friends no matter what else is happening in our lives. I wouldn't trade one of my true-blues for 100 "friends" who only accept me as long as I conform to the expectations of their in-crowd clique.

  I was the same way. Eventually I just stopped caring what others thought. The result got me the man I love, a great job, and a new outlook on life. Never give up who you are.
