" I've become everything I've ever been accused of, a nobody, a shadow who sought dark corners for fear of judgment. And I've done it to myself, believing in other people's perceptions of me, playing into it and hiding away as though I'm not good enough. The worst part is that I thought I was doing the opposite, that I was being strong, not giving a f**k.

What bulls**t. If anything, I care too much. I care about the opinions of the wrong people, faceless f**king people that will never mean anything to me,and yet I've been ducking my head for fear of what they think. "
