I hate the way I look. I hate the way I sound. I hate the stupid things I do. I hate how awkward I am. Just, all of it. If I could be born as another person, I would in a heartbeat. Seriously.

On a side note, I've asked other people about being born as someone else and I get mixed responses. I guess this is a good place to test it again.

If your stated age range is authentic, you're right where you're supposed to be in your life. Growing up is hard and uncomfortable. But the secret I this: it's hard and uncomfortable for every single one of us. The very thing we think alienates us is the one thing we all go through together.

Don't be so hard on yourself. Believe me, one day you'll look back and wonder at how good you really looked, at how innocent and meaningless so many mistakes were. As soon as wisdom and age allow, develop a healthy sense of humor about yourself. There will always be an element of high school cliques, but you're also going to find people who fit your life like a well-worn pair of jeans.

Without everything you are, you can't become the person you're meant to be and that person has a skill set, talent and insight no one else in this world will be able to provide. Somewhere there's another soul just waiting for your love. Somewhere in the future, a situation is taking shape only you will be able to manage. You are singular, beautiful and perfect. To be anyone else would be do diminish all that.
