Reasons why I will never be a good person

1. I'm super selfish. It's all about me, me, me. I know what I want, and I'm not going to let anyone get in my way. If you somehow change my mind and make yourself what I want (friend or otherwise), awesome. But I'm not going to let it happen until I want you more than I want my other wants.

2. I'm contrary. That's right. Like Mary, Mary, the quite. I don't mean to do it on purpose, really. Some things just make me contrary. When I see someone fishing for a compliment, no matter how deserved, the last thing I'm going to do is give it to them. If I know you want sympathy, tough. You expect me to say something, no matter how true it is or how much I want to say it, I won't. I think most of that is because I don't want to feel tricked or obligated into saying or doing something. If I wanted to give you a compliment, I'd give it. You asking for it makes me feel like it's less genuine, even if it's absolutely true. So no, I won't give you what you want when I know you want it.

3. I like Fall Out Boy. I hear that's no good nowadays. Well, Patrick Stump has an amazing voice and vocal range and is adorable. Pete Wentz, though a douche, writes clever lyrics. So leave me be.

4. Sometimes I lie. Mostly to myself. When something happens to me that I don't dig, I lie to myself about what happened, why I did something stupid, etc., just to make myself feel better. Sometimes it's a false history. And mostly it doesn't concern anyone else, so don't worry about it.

5. Sometimes I tell the truth. This is most of the time. And when I tell the truth, I tell it. Sorry if it hurts, but I'm not going to mince words. I've spent too much of my life sugaring my words to other people and have been taken advantage of by some weirdos. I'm not going to repeat that. So I will tell you what I think, when you ask. I'm not going to go out of my way to tell people what I think all the time, good or bad. If you ask, you get pure and unadulterated honesty. It's the grapefruit juice of life. When you want it completely natural, sometimes it's a little bitter.
