Many people resented my impatience and honesty, but I never cared about acceptance as much as I cared about respect.

I imagine there are a lot of people who will never be able to accept me because they feel I've let them down, but I am a different person, and most people have welcomed me back in that spirit.

Sometimes I feel like there are people just waiting for me to fall. The funny thing is, I can't give them anything. I have just never been a partier, even in school.

I always felt like something bigger was waiting for me out there.

I have always felt like I was just sort of waiting to catch up to the rest of myself.

It's odd how people waiting for you stand out far less clearly than people you are waiting for.

Sometimes I feel my whole life has been one big rejection.

I don't really care about being accepted now. I wish I had been like that earlier.

I've always been afraid of saying no to people because I don't want them to be disappointed and dislike me.

It is definitely somewhat a crutch of feeling that you have to please others in order to be accepted.
