I strive so hard to make others like me. I keep straddling this incompatible line between appeasing others, and living for myself. But...I ask, are the two really mutually exclusive? Is there really no true way to live yourself while appeasing others? And can you prove it as such? If the chance is one in a billion where I can live for myself yet appease and appeal to others, should I still not take that chance? What do I lose, right?
Vera: You need to get drunk tonight but unfortunately this has been up for three days so...yeah, bit delayed, this response.
No worries, gets easier with time. I was the same but with a bit of age on my side I finally managed to stop giving a rat's behind what people think of me. Am still polite and what have you, but if you don't like me - well, it's your prerogative, just as it is mine not to care.
Got slightly inebriated last night and all of a sudden, the world became a happier, brighter place. Thank all the non-existent gods for rum.

But the eternal dilemma - how can we be happy amid the unhappiness of others?
