I wouldn\\&#8217;t want to call myself a nerd nor a geek.  I was an outsider.  I tried hard to fit in, but without success.  And every day I would look forward to the next day, thinking I could improve myself so much better.  I wanted to be somebody else.  Somebody that was not me.  So I would study people and try to apply the traits I admired to myself.<\/p>\n<p>And then zoom three years later.  I have reached many goals and surpassed them.  I have had a boyfriend.  I have had heartbreak.  I have caused heartbreak.  I have attended parties.  A drinking party.  Where I refused to drink.  I am allowed to be independent.  I can drive more than an hour away without swerving.  I have to drop off people.  I can look \\&#8221;beautiful\\&#8221;.  I feel disgust as someone says so.  I have gotten a job.  I have gone through interviews with success, knowing that I impressed them.  I have no dependency on money.<\/p>\n<p>I am everybody, but I am nobody.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And I know it\\&#8217;s hard And I know it hurts you And I know you cry sometimes And I know you miss her all the time Sometimes I look back at myself in high school.
