Be You and Never Back Down

From 2007

Once again I am irritated (what’s new huh), and I just understand some people. Why do people feel that have to kiss ass, or go against their own feelings or beliefs to fit in, or be with the "cool" kids.

First off, the cool kids are not that fucking cool. To be honest, they are mostly unnecessarily arrogant, stuck up, my shit don’t stink pieces of trash. They are fake as hell, and think anyone who is not them is worthless. Why is that? Did someone lie to you and tell you that you were great? Can I meet this person, because something tells me they are mentally retarded.

See, some people are "cool" in my eyes, and most are not. The ones that I think are cool are the ones that are original. These are the ones that stand up for their beliefs, feelings, friends, or whatever even if others perceive them as wrong.

You were born by yourself, and you will die by yourself. Why the fuck do you care what these assholes think? You are you, and no changing or conforming to their ways are going to make you anyone else, except maybe a fake wanna-be them.

Take pride in standing by your beliefs, word, friends, and whatever. Have pride being a man (or woman) that does things and acts like themselves, and doesn’t kiss anyone’s ass to be expected. If these people were real, they would respect you for who you are, not who they want you to be.

Look at half of these people who look down on others, and you will find so many flaws and fake images, that you will realize who the better and "cooler" person is. I respect someone when respect is given, never otherwise.

I won’t let myself kiss ass, be kicked and ridiculed, or let myself be what they want me to be. That’s what makes me proud, and the real "cool" one. If you can be yourself, then you shouldn’t BE at all. Your life’s a joke and a sham, and it’s a sad thing to see that.

So next time you feel alone, or feel like you don’t fit in, just say, FUCK EM, WHO GIVES A FUCK! Only opinion that matters is yours. If you can’t be happy in your own skin, or happy with yourself, then you need help. You are what you are, so be proud of it.

Just to add to this, which is why I posted in the first place, is to always back your friends. They will be here longer than anyone else besides family, and they should be valued highly. Stand by them no matter what. If they fall, I fall, if I rise they rise. That’s how I feel. Wrong or right, I will never let a friend get crucified for anything. I ride for them to the end. It’s a long story how this post came up, and why I am telling you this, but I am not going to get into it all. I just thought I should state my opinion on how I feel on all of this stuff, and I hope it helps you find confidence and pride in being you. That’s the only one who matters
