Being single Quote by Ryan Daniels
“I really enjoy being an outcast and I've been one all of my life. I remember when I was in school, it seemed as if the majority of the people there were too good to interact with me. It was okay because I was comfortable with being myself rather than having to try hard to fit in so I can be liked by others.”
