Today's lesson was fairly simple: be yourself. (yeah, you)

You don't need to act like anyone else to impress someone and you definitely don't have to censor yourself for the thing you may find the most embarrassing about yourself; it may even be the most valued quality to another person. (Blessid Union of Souls- Leonardo (She Likes Me For Me))

Who cares about your past? Live in the moment, things may not turn out the way you wanted- now or at any point in the future. (I had a lot of fun, regardless of if we find ourselves hanging out again)

A lot of stuff you can't control outside your own parameters, so why dwell on it? Try not to let things get to you, enjoy where you are and what you are doing. (I paid because I wanted to; it wasn't because I expected something in return)

Be honest; don't hide behind a facade that you weave as you go, you will only get burned as things come out. (I hope you see how un-"normal" I am, even though I claim to be; I pride myself on not being the stereotype of a guy/asshole)

Respect yourself, you're the only one you have to live with everyday of your life. (I gave you my number because I didn't want you to feel pressured into going, so often girls say yes because they don't want to say no)

There's still time to say "no." (I won't be offended, I'm not everyone's type)

Be yourself. (Everything happens for a reason)

And that's (the word).

BILLY JOEL- YOU MAY BE RIGHT excerpt
I told you dirty jokes until you smiled
You were lonely for a man
I said take me as I am
'Cause you might enjoy some madness for a while
Now think of all the years you tried to
Find someone to satisfy you
I might be as crazy as you say
If I'm crazy then it's true
That it's all because of you
And you wouldn't want me any other way"
