The You You Hide

My boyfriend made me think of this quote just now. He was talking to one of his roommates about me and said, "Ya, usually it takes me 3 - 4 months to fart in front of girls. But fuck it, your getting everything."

I laughed because that is exactly what I started doing last semester - being exactly who I am, not farting in front of people. I went on a bunch of dates with a bunch of guys and nothing ever stuck until I met this one. I found a guy who likes me for exactly who I am because I never felt the need to be anyone else. None of those other guys worked out because they didn't match up with me. My boyfriend said he went on a whole bunch of first dates and the same thing - nothing stuck. My guess is that it's for the same reason.

I'm done apologizing for who I am and explaining myself. I am who I am and you can take it or leave it. Never hide who you are - "because you never know who would love the [you] you hide."
