you just got "it"

It is an extremely weird phenomenon when someone finally starts seeing you how you've always wanted to be seen.  When someone tells you what you are to them.  When what they say is all you ever wanted to be. 

There have been times in my life when I wasn't true to myself.  I'm sure this happens to everyone.  You fall in with a crowd, you tweak yourself, no one wants to be disliked, especially by people you yourself like. I feel like I've grown up enough to get over this fear. I am happy being myself.

I'm not a center stage type of girl.  I like attention, but too much makes me nervous.  I like to go out of my way for people, and only ask for appreciation in return.  I respect people, you are who you are, I am who I am, we all deserve respect.  I like things neat, but my things get messy.  I really am a nice girl.  I make mistakes and I learn.  

I am lucky to have found people who like me for my faults just as much as they like me for my attributes.

I guess I just want to say thank you, for noticing I'm not like them, I'm not like everyone else.
