Hiya. I'm Angela
I'm really a sweet, upbeat, friendly and accepting person. I'm perky, I love to talk, and I'm very sensitive. It's sometimes hard for people who don't know me that well to see right into this, because they just see the outside. I'm not exactly the
skinniest person ever (that's putting it lightly...literally! Ooo, bad joke...), and unfortunately the people I go to school with can't always see past that. At least the majority of them. You may wonder why I'm rambling about this, but it'll all make sense in a sec. So because of my appearance, I'm a lot quieter and less outgoing with people I don't really know. And that upsets me, definitely. I'm not saying I want to accept what I look like, because I certainly want to change it, but I wish I could have more confidence. I sometimes say to myself, "Oh, I'll have this confidence when I look better," but I don't know when that time will come. I'm trying really hard. And I'm doing the best I can do. Sometimes I wish the people who judge me right in front of my face, or don't talk to me would know that.
So I guess I'm rambling again. But I'll try to stay on track. Okay...so I guess what the point is, when I'm not with the people who honestly make me feel like digging myself in a hole, I'm with the people who make me feel great. Most of the time. I had a group of old friends, as some of you know, that became the opposite of what friends should be like. Once again, I don't want to go on and on, but they treated me like dirt. So as I'm separating from them more and more, and hanging out with my new friends, who are incredible, I'm noticeably happier. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not depressed or anything, but I'm just an all around better and more confident person when I'm with the people who treat me the way I deserve to be treated.
Man. I'm sorry if that was
way upsetting! It's just that that's a part of my life that I have to deal with right now. My looks, and my confidence. I think the dealing with them part is the hardest
So maybe I can lighten my own mood by thinking of other things about me:
-I love theatre. It's what I'm truly passionate about, and I honestly can't imagine my life every Thursday and Saturday without it. It would just be like...now what do I do?
-I'm the peacemaker of my friends, the shoulder to cry on, whatnot. I like it most of the time, because I know in a situation where they would trust me or so and so, they would trust me.
-I have quite the sense of humor. Sometimes I'll laugh when I shouldn't, but who doesn't? It's not often. And I also love to laugh. I agree that is the best kind of medicine.
-I'll have to agree with Paula in the fact that I get things more than others do. Sure, there are a lot of people who are smarter than me academically, but if there's a discussion that involves just plain common sense, I can make those people be like, "huh?"
