A good quote
I must say.

The problem I'm worried about though is that of impending age. What I mean by that is that it seems to be allowed to be "different" until one gets old.

Young(ish) person who doesn't conform = free spirit

Old person ditto = oddball / mad.

I don't see me being able to carry on as I am in 10 year's time. I don't mind being thought of as being a mad old codger in some ways, it's more the reactions of those close to me I worry about. They've got used to me being me, I just worry that in a few year's time me being me will be something they are ashamed of.

God I hate getting old.

Sorry if none of the above makes much sense; too early in the morning for such introspections...

Don't worry about other people.
My family think I'm strange. My weird love life, (what they know of), my piercings, (what they know of), but as long as you're a good person it doesn't matter how weird you may seem or look to them.

I just wish I'd been braver when young to live how I wanted. Even now I'm only a small part of who I should be but I'm trying to overcome that.
