I'm too nice or I'm a dick. I'm too clingy or I'm not present enough. I'm stupid or I'm an intellectual show-off. I'm fat and should be ashamed or I'm not body-positive enough. I'm annoying or I'm too quiet. I'm too self-centered or I'm too accommodating. I'm too sensitive or I'm insensitive. I'm too queer for women, not queer enough for men. All I hear when I get from these messages is that I'm not enough for anyone. And you know what? That's fine. If I'm not enough of whatever the hell you want me to be, then I'm going to focus on the person I am enough for: me. If that means writing everyone off, then so be it. I'm done trying to please people who are never fucking happy with anything I do.
