How to suppress parts of myself, to blend in.

[festive1]

Why be normal? What is normal? Everyone presents what they want to the outside world, regardless of what their inner world is like. I take great comfort in the fact that I'm a messed up individual, just like everyone else, I try to embrace that instead of shunning it. For me, shunning those parts of myself that I'd rather keep in the dark is detrimental to my well-being. Not that I always fly my freak flag high, sometimes it's at half-mast, there is a time and place for everything.
