Skin

I guess this is my first actual post about something.

I don't really know how to start. I guess I should start by saying my name is Evan (which hopefully you already know) and I'm just doing the best I can everyday. My friends say I'm really smart, but I don't really feel that way much of the time. I'm the shyest person in the world until you get to know me, so sorry if I"ve ever given you the cold shoulder, it's nothing personal, just the way God wired me. If you could think up the exact opposite of a so-called "lady's man", well, you're looking at him, baby. I'm smooth as sandpaper when it comes to the opposite sex, but like I said, I' m just trying my best everyday.

With that being said, I just want to say that I've learned over time, how important it is for us to be comfortable in our own skin. What you read above is just a little bit about me, but that is me, nevertheless. I see all the time people trying to put on a front and put on a show just to fit in, all because they feel like they can't be themselves. I recognize that a lot because I've been there, and I still venture there once in a blue moon, but I love who I am and I can only hope the people who are reading this, if anyone is at all, can say that about themselves. Love the person God has created you to be and embrace him or her with open arms. Once we do that, I think that allows us to connect with others at a deeper level, but hey, that's just my opinion.

anyway, gotta run. good night to all.

I think you're a pretty cool kid Evian, and like I told you last night, you're a role model. See, here's another example: you're very confident in yourself and love you for who God made you, which is something I still need to learn and work on.

In a non parent sounding way, you make me proud.
