there comes a time when you have to stand up and shout: 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. take me or leave me. 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. if i need to change, i alone will make that decision.~*
