I know it takes courage to drop the mask. Suppose you are rejected? Suppose people laugh at you? False friends may be appalled by your transformation, because when you change your role, they might be forced to change their own. Well-meaning family members may be concerned -- after all, why should you change? You were everything they thought you should be. But you can't maintain the status quo at the expense of your destiny. You'll be shortchanging yourself and everyone in your life if you don't fulfill the promise of who you are meant to be.

hello everyone, hmm.. i'm very surprised to get emails from young girls who read my blog, girls 12 yrs old + (i'm actually pleasantly surprised that people i dont know took the time to read em and email -- not to compliment, but to ask for advice). ladies (i.e. bowlingsoupfreak), u know who u are and i may not be the best person to run to but i'm still glad u did. um well, u girls have the same questions and going through similar stuff, i havent updated my blog since i came back from cali but i will, thanks for reminding me...

i remember the "scott speedman posting", someone also emailed me about him asking me if she could post my blog about scott speedman on her website. anyway, oh boy, well the questions are kinda tough, let's see...
1) yes, tell your parents u need privacy too, i mean, even your pets have privacy right? i think that your cozy bedroom can be a great sanctuary, there u can be creative rather than be destructive out in the sts with pimps and bimbos. there's nothing wrong with going out to parties/movies with friends and have fun, i love going out personally, there's no better way to express yourself than be with people, but choose wisely who u hang out with. who gives a if they're popular, rich, beautiful people, if they pressure u to do something u dont wanna do, well, u can think for yourselves right?
2) u shouldnt worry about your age. a lot of women in their 40s (u know, the ones u think that built the stonehenge?) they'd give everything to be u again, no joke. who cares if people call u a kid or something? i'd rather hang out with u guys than with adults at times. think about this, u dont really need makeup to hide your glow coz it comes out naturally, u dont need to worry about next month, where to get money to pay the bills and stuff, u can eat anything u like (i'm always told that with the junk i put in my tummy, i'll regret it someday) i mean, i see grown men and women dying outside a krispy kreme window. and yes, i love cartoons and i dont need to be ashamed of it.
3) hmm... the eternal boy question.. "does he like me". ok, hmm.. well, i have wonderful guy friends, they're great, funny and charming. guys can be very loyal too, believe it or not. but i also agree that some guys think they're all that when they're not and why? coz some girls love rubbing their egos. i have nothing against giving compliments esp when deserved but sometimes, it's better to hold your tongue. hey, remember the boy who's always there for u, who studies with u and listens to your neverending problems? and u see him as a friend? maybe u should take a really good look at him. maybe, just maybe that's the one who really likes u. but u know what else, its good to be young, at your age young ladies, boys are all eager to show off and fight over u, and when u grow old you'll all be fighting over them. take it easy, let the boys fight over u while it lasts. you'll meet a lot of them as u grow older...
