Beverly became a fan of being your own person.

We dictate our own sense of personal happiness despite the fact that external factors have the most sway. Sure, we can feign happiness and pretend that life is great, that our friends love us and we've found the perfect niche at school. You've got to lose friends to make some, right?

I was irked at first but I've learned a lot. Belonging does not manifest itself in attire, nor does it manifest itself in speaking just like everybody around you. You have a set of friends that may not like everything you like and understand all your idiosyncrasies, but they're their for you, not just for the joy rides, the finite moments of elation but for the long run, for the here and now.
