The thing is I understand now that no matter what shit life deals me and regardless of the douchebags who want to bring me down into the gutter, I couldn't change if I wanted to. Being happy go lucky, being a giver, being someone who listens more than he speaks is as much a part of me as my red hair. I might be able to convince people otherwise for a while but does it really do me any good that I allow people to change my nature?
I am in a unique position to live true to myself and although it doesn't always work to my advantage it beats swimming against the current. That is the quickest way to allow life to pull me under.
