if you've known me for a while, you wouldn't recognize me now. the world changed and i changed with it.
yesterday, i watched dead poets society again after a long, long time and after having spent another day with the most amazing person i've ever had the pleasure of meeting, this movie started to speak to me. it was just as if those boys who get torn into the world of literature, passion, love, emotion, living life to the fullest and sucking all the marrow out of life – as if those boys went through what i went through in the last couple of months.
carpe diem, they always said, seize the day. when there's something on your mind, stop wasting every second of your life pondering, thinking about what might go wrong, what might change. just go ahead and make a difference. change things. speak your mind. don't always conform. be yourself.
i took a risk, the ultimative risk. there was the chance of ruining so damn much but on the other hand there was the change of gaining even more. i took a plunge and things turned out good, great, wonderful, better than i could have believed.
and now i've got that smile on my face. i've been having it there for two weeks and with every passing day it gets broader, more sure of itself. my facial muscles are slowly getting used to that unusual state and the rest of my body, especially my mind, is trying to keep pace.
if you have known me before, you'll notice i have changed. the walls that surrounded me, protected me from the world have been torn down. and inside i found something i had long believed forgotten – myself.

Now we all have a great need for acceptance, but you must trust that your beliefs are unique, your own, even though others may think them odd or unpopular, even though the herd may go "that's baaaaad." Robert Frost said, "Two roads diverged in the wood and I, I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference."hell yeah!

i too am not a bit tamed–i too am untranslatable;thank you for what you're doing to me.
i sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world.
