People are going to say things. They are. They're going to say things and they aren't all going to be nice. There are girls who today, told me some pretty nasty and unnecessary things that are not theirs to decide. They told me that I was not normal. They told me there was something wrong with me and that I have mental problems. I am the way I am, okay? Deal with it! Nobody is asking them to run their lives like I do mine. Don't like gay marriages? Don't have one. Don't like the way I do things? Don't do them that way. Also, don't take away my goddamn rights to say and do whatever I want and live however the hell I want. I'm Riley Matthews. I'm silly, I'm goofy, I'm weird, I'm loyal, I'm crazy, I'm desperate, I'm scared, I'm hurt and I'm happy with my life just the way it is. And nobody else has any right to tell me what to do with my life. I don't care who you are, you're not me, therefore you don't make my life decisions. If I wanna have award ceremonies in the hallways every Friday after school, I'll have award ceremonies in the hallways every Friday after school. If I wanna talk to my friends at home, at school, then I'll talk to them at home and at school. If I wanna be friends with a certain group of people, I will be friends with that group of people. You understand yet? I will do whatever I want! I don't have to reach YOUR standards! I don't have to fit into YOUR definition of normal! I don't have to live my life the way YOU want me to. It's my life and I'll do whatever I want with it.
And that goes for all of you. Everyone out there, reading this now, later, or even if you never read this at all. You do not have to be who anyone else tells you to! You do not have to change who you are to reach someone else's standards! You do not have to fit into someone else's definition of normal! You be exactly who you want to be. You should not be forced to be someone you don't want to be. Nobody else has the right to that power, so don't give it to them. You be friends with whoever you want to be friends with, you talk to whoever you wanna talk to, you act however you wanna act, and you what what you wanna say, whenever you wanna say it, to whoever you wanna say it to! End of story, bottom line. I'm not asking anyone to fit my standards except for myself. The only person you should ever expect to do what you want is you. Don't force someone to be someone they don't wanna be, and don't force someone to do what you want them to do. When you're busy managing someone else's life, who's managing yours? Ever think about that?
