a lover's complaint
 female. seventeen. just trying to deal with everything, everyone and myself.

the URL is from the Fray's lyrics 'if i don't say this now, i will surely break', which sums up the content of this blog.

"We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope" - Martin Luther King Jnr

i know this is so incorrect, but if i’d conformed earlier, worn makeup earlier, fake tanned earlier, worn fake nails earlier, dressed like a “normal, popular teenaged girl” earlier.. my life would be completely different, but instead i wore studs and chains and black and ripped shit.

my stubbornness towards preserving my individuality got me bullied and one thing led to another.

i wish i’d become the person who i am right now, a whole heap earlier, and i’m sharing this advice, even though it’s awful advice: if you get shit for being different to the point that it ruins your life, stop being different.

i wish someone had convinced me otherwise earlier.
