Be yourself Quote by Anonymous
“I make mistakes. I have regrets. I hate being alone. I'm always late. I hate school. I never call anyone back. I don't like being wrong. I'm a huge procrastinator. I act like I'm a lot tougher than I am. I hate being ignored. I cry. I'm shy. I get annoyed by people too easily. I can't sing. I have horrible balance. I laugh really obnoxiously. I let things get to me. I'm not perfect. But the beauty of it is I don't care.”
