Acceptance:The Self Kind

Accepting things can be a tough thing to do. My most recent thought (a few minutes ago to be exact) was about accepting myself, and the person I am.

I have to say that I like the person I am today. I've never had a problem with who I am and I don't think I ever will. I firmly believe that I have a good set of morals and a big heart. I like to think that everyone would like me for who I am and what I stand for, but that is unrealistic.

I know though, that when I find those people who do like what I stand for, that I have a spot reserved for them in my life. If someone likes me for who I am and wants to make me a priority in their life, then they damn well deserve me to reciprocate that.

That's something worth noting as well. One's ability not only to give out love, but their ability to receive it as well. I know I have a lot of love to give out, but i question whether or not I know how to take it in. I feel loved, by my friends and family. And I hope that they feel loved by me. I also hope they love what I am, and they accept me for who I am.

As horrible as those "to be honest" things are on Facebook I'm going to do one now for myself. And I will tell you all, who I, Thomas Patrick Forse, really am.

to be honest I am a caring guy who loves to mess around, getting a laugh out of someone makes me feel good and seeing that I have hurt someone kills me. I don't need alcohol or drugs to have a good time, rather I need my basement, my friends, and some Nerf guns. My friends and i have more inside jokes than I care to explain, and most of them are raunchy things that should never be explained to a person outside our group of friends. My mom means the world to me and I hope I mean the same to her. As much as I torment my sister I love her to death, even though I want to play the stereotypical big brother role and punch her suitors in the face I instead let her learn on her own. I like seeing her grow up and become a young lady(i realize for her it is a slow process) I also love my dad with all my heart, and while he might not say I love you as much as I'd like I know that he loves me. I enjoy meeting new people and i enjoy being happy. I enjoy making others happy more than anything. I procrastinate, I get good grades, i hope to get into Fordham, and I hope to one day move to NYC. I admire my cousins. I admire my grandfather. I'm also a damn good listener, and one of the least judgmental people in the world. I say rude things, but I rarely mean them. I'm progressively getting happier and am ready for change. that's who I am.
