Feeling ‘too much’ for people & the truth behind popularity and being ‘cool’

Throughout my life I've felt too much for people - too loud, too talkative, too big, too small, too energetic, too ridiculous, just too much. I starved myself and made myself smaller, I tried to squash my personality so I would blend in more. I tried to dress like everyone I saw and keep up with all the girls at school. I stressed myself out financially because I felt like I didn't belong in the right social class. I destroyed my body and smoked cigarettes and did everything I could over the years to 'fit in', only to finally realise that I was good enough exactly as who I was. The only thing sustainable is to be yourself guys. Be you and you'll attract what's right for you. You're perfect as you are. You are absolutely imperfectly perfect and I am so proud of you. BE YOU! BE YOU! BE YOUUUU!!!
