This fit like clothes made out of wasps.

This here is the image I present to you.
What I want you to see.
Decide for yourself if I am right.

Turn around now, or proceed through this
rather long description. I'd rather
you not stop halfway through.
I am in no way perfect,
and I'm not trying to
flaunt anything about me here.

I'm Al. I'm 17.
I don't try and embellish my words;
this is the way I type and speak.
I'm not easy to get along with.
I'm too outspoken and opinionated.
My opinions can and do change when
new reason or insight dictates.
However, any beliefs or opinions
that I hold dear will not be lost
easily.

I consider myself a philosopher.
I have a lot of bad traits,
but I hope the good outweigh them.
I'm easy to forget.
I'm not very exciting.
I tend to be vocal in my judgments.
Not that I'm more judgmental than you,
I just tell people what I think up front
and honestly. People don't like it.
But I often tell people the truth
that they don't want to hear.
I like to be constructively criticized.
I don't usually try and show off about
anything. I come off like I do.

I don't like (in no particular order),
the ideas of fashion,
pop culture, vanity, meaningless music,
mainstream music, makeup, capitalism,
blind faith in anything, nationalism,
narcissism, hate, intolerance (I'm very
intolerant to intolerance), unstable emotions,
stereotypes, big businesses, ad hominem,
meat, televangelists, commercialism,
lying, negative belief systems, co-dependence,
the educational system, the justice system,
child labor, war, outsourcing, unreasonable
selfishness, superficiality, weapons meant to
kill, Walmart, climate destruction,
'progress' of the economy, fads,
following any trends (consumer goods-wise),
drug laws, democracy, autocracy, economic
and social class distinctions, gambling,
any substance abuse (not necessarily use),
revenge, grudges, stealing, cheating, murder,
closed-mindedness, traditionalism,
most love poetry, laziness, chatspeak

apathy ,

those who deny
their hypocrisy, and lists
about likes and dislikes.
Most of all, I don't like the
fact that most people cannot or will
not go out of their comfort zones to
look at another's perspective.

I am a hypocrite. The way I see it,
I aim at the highest ideal in my actions
and thoughts that I can imagine, but
due to my imperfections, I hit much lower,
much like an arrow shot from a long distance.
I hit the target, but I must aim much higher
than what I hope to achieve.

I am extremely anxious; it's a medical
condition. I'm insecure; I'm a coward.
I think much more than is healthy.
I'm not generally liked; I like
it that way.

I am extremely passionate.
I love to write, think, imagine,
and draw. I love all people, whether
I like them or not. I believe everyone
is a good person deep within.
I especially love and respect those
I know, such as many close friends,
who I don't care to list, and my family.

I have a very strong moral code
based upon philosophical ideas
and a limited understanding of theoretical
physics.

Explaining it would take hours.
To give you an image,

Imagine the universe.
Imagine every particle, every tiny
piece of existence glowing
and vibrating.
Then, imagine each life form,
according to their complexity,
glowing a little brighter than
the surroundings.

Imagine a bright and endless
source of light connecting everything
that exists, including all of time.

We are the source
