The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one. ~Elbert Hubbard

And you are the same

So Spencer and I decided that we were going to link to each others blogs to make us look like legit bloggers (you better follow through with this or I’ll break your knee caps). But truth be told, there is one post that I actually might have linked to had we not made this agreement.
In one of his posts, Spencer does his usual incoherent rambling but he actually addresses a very good point. He talks about how he feels alone and how he is afraid to show his real self for fear that he may not be accepted by society. However, this is not a thought that makes you alone. In fact, this is a thought that brings you together.

No one is ever 100% sure about themselves 100% of the time. No one can maintain confidence and faith in themselves every minute of every day. And no one can be happy with who they have chosen to be their whole life. They just can’t. They can’t because we live in a world where we face hardships every day. We live in a world when our character is continually tested. We live in a world where every event shapes who we are.

Spencer also goes on to talk about how he fakes self esteem. Everybody fakes something though, whether it be love, happiness, or in his case self esteem. Self esteem is probably the best choice if you were to fake something though. And his reasons he gives for faking are no other different than anyone else’s. We all want to be accepted, to feel like we belong. You are not alone in this feeling Spencer, in fact, you fit right along with everybody else. That's my hypothesis.
Peace.
