Don't see yourself as just one thing; see yourself as... yourself. Which is hard, but that's the only way to live in a world where everyone else will probably see you as just one thing.
What I see myself as =\= what I actually am.
But if I were to choose one thing to focus on, it'd be beauty. Brains haven't gotten me anywhere but depressed on my inability to be at the level I should for my age and potential.
If I were pretty, some rich guy would allow me access to his finances. Or at least that's how it works on TV and movies...

Obviously not, but it doesn't help to push towards a different you... which I guess you feel is not possible. Which is a problem of mentality which, again, does come down to perception as well; the difference between a static mindset and a growth mindset.

Yeah, I sound too much like a crappy motivational speaker, but it's a valid point I feel; there's definitely stuff you'll never be able to fix, but that shouldn't stop you from focusing on what you can and you have to start by seeing yourself beyond what you feel like you are currently.

And well, that depends. It costs a lot to be beautiful and you might be thrown to the side for a prettier thing eventually; it's in the gaseous state as a trait for a lot of people.

Well, we shall see.

Never experienced winter in its fullest extent, sadly: No snow and all. :(

Always lived in the tropics; two times we'd been to places where there could've been snow, but nope.

I will have to root out my copy, but I could have sworn that in the foreword Colfer wrote he tried his best to write in Adam's style.

But of course, I'm likely wrong. You're sounding a lot more resolute on this issue than I am and I don't see that changing even after my morning coffee.

Oh, no, I didn't mean he didn't try to emulate the style. I mean that it didn't seem like he tried to include a Space!Arty.

Oooh, sorry. I'm not saying it's deliberate or anything, there was just so much of Colfer in there whether he likes it or not it feels more like a fan fiction to me than a deserving six of three. A marvellous fan fiction of course, mostly got closure.

But yeah, it can be fun to indulge in fantasies until it starts to rule how you see yourself... had that situation for the longest time about wanting to study film instead of what I'm currently studying. Made me a miserable shit for the past few years within my course.....

Yeah, rendering the rain can't be easy on the Earth's processor; poor operators' having to add extra RAM just to get through with all the new people it has to simulate, poor chaps.
