very bad day. and it's the last day of summer to top it off.

today had some very bad moments. or hours.
it was one of those days where i felt more of an outcast then normal, and felt stranded on the road somewhere all by myself.
having opinions and/or beliefs that most people don't really sucks. i'm so tired of feeling like the bad guy, or the downer, or whatever. i'm tired of feeling stupid and childish. i'm tired of feeling like what i think and believe is unbelievably stupid and maybe even untrue or not important. (that's the worst- am i really wasting all of this time, energy, and emotion?)
but in my heart, i have to remember to know that what i believe is true and real. even if it means ruining people's day or perception of how things have always been, or perceptions of me.

today i had a particularly nasty response to title 9 3/4, among other things.
i am hurt. to say the least.
i think eleanor roosevelt said it best. it's really the only thing that gets me through things like this.
she said-

do what you feel in your heart to be right- for you'll be criticized anyway.

no shit.
