Good quote day.

Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange for it. Establish your priorities and go to work. ¾H.L. Hunt

Fuck yes. Are you kidding me with this quote? It’s beyond brilliant and perfect for me right now. I’ve said it consistently since puberty, my priorities are always off from people of my age. I’m not saying better, quite the opposite, just different.

For example, when people were taking college as an excuse to drink past the point of date rape, I was in the library reading before going to the rec center. When people graduated and decided to make bars their second home, I was nestled up to Microsoft Word trying to type out the next chapter of my book. While most people are so obsessed with hooking up with everyone and anyone, I was always stubbornly picky about who I spent any of my time with.

The quote above makes me feel less alone. Less of a loser for having my priorities be slightly askew from common society of my age group. The more I roll over the topic in my head, the more I realize that my feelings of being an outsider may shift if I just start surrounding myself with like-minded individuals.

Until then, I am off to write.
