Loser like me

Firstly I totally need to blame Vicky for my Glee obsession (yes it is your fault!), but it would seem that even cheesy, addictive American TV can touch people.

The new glee song Loser like me really shot me back to my time in secondary school. I hated it, loathed every single minute. I was so sick of people getting me down for just being myself.

So what that I:

  • Wear glasses
  • Am a total book worm
  • Sound like a guinea pig when I laugh
  • Have boobs bigger than some peoples heads
  • Am a happy clappy holy Joe bible basher (aka Christian)

Does any of it really matter?

Honest answer, no. Ok so I suck at sport, have no idea what to do with foundation and have never had sex but I'm the person I am supposed to be and no one and I will repeat that NO ONE is going to keep me down about it.

It really bugs me that I know so many incredible people, who feel totally crap about themselves due to self centred bullies who just get their kicks being horrible to each other.

We should be proud of who we are and not be afraid to flaunt it. Take some of my friends for example. Vicky is probably one of the tallest people I know, ok so finding trousers long enough can be an issue, but she has legs to die for. Kat though seen to most as ‘positively bizarre’ (probably due to our many many laughing fits over such things as llamas) is one of the fastest wise crackers and always knows how to cheer someone up. Alex was always labelled as the ‘nerd’ and people used to be really unkind to him. Yet still he finds time to help others who are struggling with their own work (Lord knows I would never have got my head around Pythagoras without him).

We are all people worth loving warts and all. Brain box, ballerina, footballer, Frankenstein. Heck even maths teachers.

So losers like me, lets not get ourselves down when people get mean, just remember…

YOUR AWESOME!
