I just read an amazing line from Adaptation...

"We are what we love, not what loves us."

Why haven't I seen that movie yet?

...I have always judged myself by others' acceptance (or rejection) of me. I just can't imagine being worth anything if no one else thinks I am. Maybe it's wrong. No, it is wrong. But will I ever be able to say, "All of you can go fuck yourselves. I am who I am."? I have my doubts. In fact, I have an army of them, waiting over that hill there, ready to storm over the fields of self-confidence at the very moment they sense an uprising.

It's why I need my own song.
It's why I have a comment system on this site.
It's why I haven't been alone since I was fifteen.
It's why I love cats....

....Cats?
Yeah, you heard me.

It doesn't matter.
What happens happens.
And if I'm meant to realize that I am what I love and not what loves me, then I will.
