Who likes beards?

I decided I like food that's bad for me.
And I don't care if that's bad because I like it and I'm not afraid to say it.
That sounds silly but my saying that is freeing because for too long I said what I thought would make other people think highly of me.
I rounded down my weight if asked, I subtracted two or three from my actual size, I even pretended to like things I hated and hate things I liked.
Now I hate to say that I did those things to be cool but if I deny it I'm lying.
Yes, I succumbed to the pressure to fit in.
So now I'm taking a stand.
I like fast food.
I am a size 12 or 14.
I love stupid movies.
I am roughly one hundred and eighty five pounds.
I can't carry a tune.
I love to sing anyway.
You see I'm finished trying to be someone that people like, so from now on I'm going to do my best to tell the truth fearlessly.
I think today's society is messed up.
I think that House is right when he says that everybody lies.
But you don't have to and neither do I.
There shouldn't be any shame in being who you are.
The thing is that I really doubt that if I told everyone that I'm a size 13 that they would look at me any differently than if I lied and said I was a size 10 but I think we all have a fear of being rejected for who they are.
Let's stop being afraid let's stand together in truth and accept our friends for who God made them and who they have become.
Let's stop judging and start caring.
If everyone held their tongue once for every two times they were going to say something insulting everyone would be 50% less scared to say who they really are.
Because it is the amount of times you are hurt that determine how open you are going to be.
So shut your mouth to insults and open your mouth to truth and see how far you get.
I think it's time to be real and stop acting, there are people who get paid for that, leave it to them.
