seek and you shall find

He who trims himself to suit everyone will soon whittle himself away. ~Raymond Hull

All these years of studying anthropology, analyzing human behavior, traveling the world, and adapting to each and every society I visited, I have concluded:

I just like to be me...that's all.
I don't have to boast about it. I say this with great humility.
I don't have to proove myself to anybody. I don't have to have money, be with a man, or be brilliant to be happy........
I just am.

You can't define me. I'm not rich nor poor. I'm not crazy nor sane. I'm not religious nor hethen. You can't fit me in your box and your methods won't break me. In a place that my face tells the world I'm abnormal, I feel exotic. Where my accent defines my intelligence, I offer sincerity. You say its proper to eat with fork and knife? I prefer to eat with my fingers. I'll never intentionally hurt anyone to get my way. I will always give you the benefit of the doubt and I will never limit the mercy I give. My compassion will drive me to do neurotic things. while my naivity worries my loved ones, it trainquilizes my longing for adventure. I live by the golden rules: two wrongs don't make a right, treat others the way you'd like to be treated, and turn the other cheek. My parents taught me to never be rude. I don't feel at all worthy of demanding anything from anybody and cannot phathom how others feel their value is greater than another human being.

So here I am...Kendall. Take it or leave it. I'm not saying I won't change. As a matter of fact I am always in the process..and I'm not saying I'm perfect either. I'm just really happy to be me--flaws and all.
