once a nerd always a nerd.

nerds. i totally consider myself a nerd, a proud one too. not a nerd meaning that i read more than i watch tv, or that i was a straight a student my entire life, that would just be a lie. nerd in the sense that i am uncensored, un-phased and unapologetic of my quirky antics, love of taking pictures with strangers or my big mouth. i have grown to love these qualities as without them i wouldn't know who i am. my friends are mostly just as nerdish as i am, some more so and some are just in denial. we find humor in the most peculiar situations but time has shown me that these are the people that i need around me. a friend makes you a better version of yourself, always. they are what get me through my "low times" when i struggle with finding contentment after graduating and am in a new phase of life. likewise, they are there to celebrate my triumphs because right now i'm realizing as i embark on my own life journey every freaking good thing that happens is a triumph: moving out (check), full-time job (check), paycheck (thank goodness check), support system of warrirors (check, check, mother effng check), etc. true happiness is living life as the person that you are, not who you want to be perceived as. now that that's settled... take it or leave it, i am a nerd.
