I think it's good that you stand confident and comfortable with who you are and not let your environment dictate who you're "supposed to be." Well done to you.

I liked the following line you wrote, "We have the ability to make our own decisions," because so many people make the choice not to make a decision and that's a slippery slope (meaning it can be detrimental to the individual).

You seem like a really nice person, someone I think I could hang out with and be friends. You have a nice attitude.
