I've outgrown the need to prove myself to you, and I've managed to overcome the insecurity that plagues so many of my peers that would cause me define myself by how loudly I can scream my ideas into your ears.
I know myself, and the people privileged enough to have earned a permanent place in my daily life know me as well.I'm not really concerned with how I am perceived, as I no longer need it in order to identify myself.I am Straight Edge. It is more important to me than anything else I have ever known, and is the one single thing that has never, and will never, let me down. I don't expect you to understand this. I don't expect those of you who claim to be Straight Edge to have a firm, complete grasp on what being truly Straight Edge actually involves. But I'm past the point where that bothers me much anymore. I'll still be here when you fade out, because I'm in this for myself and only myself.
I have too many ideas for my own good.
The rest of my generation is either fast asleep or completely distracted by things that are of no importance.
I've got ideas, and I've got nothing but passion backing them. And I will NOT abandon the hope that I'm not the only one left... that this fire of mine is not the only one still burning amidst all of the forces that seek to extinguish it.
I WILL change this world and the way things are done on it, even if I have to do it myself.
