Listen to the walls. They tell secrets,its up to you to keep them. It's not like they will believe anyway.... niéve people won't try to listen. If you don't believe,you will hear silence.

P!nk’s Perception Of Perfection Tears fell my dark brown eyes, I felt happy. I am beautiful, I am perfect. The radio was blasting, P!nk’s song “ Perfect.” It was the first time I heard it but it had a huge impact on me. Throughout my entire life, I have been made fun of, it hurts believe me, But I’m here and I’m healthy. There is an upside and downside to being made fun of. The downside is that you feel beneath others. Sometimes you cry, hurt yourself or break things. And sometimes you even feel like you want to die. The upside is, or should be that you are different from everyone else, I learned that they are, “hating” because they wish they had the strength you have to be unique. So people can make fun of; my black converses, my fake lip ring, my pink chocker or my obsession with horror movies and vampire. To be honest I get down sometimes, but I’m not fazed. I’m happy that I’m being me and not pretending that I'm someone else, just to fit in with the crowd. I’m glad I gave that life up a long time ago it was stressful. If it wasn’t for P!nk’s a songs “ Raise Your Glass” and “Perfect”, I would still not feel good about myself and still be putting myself down. Imagine a girl, who has been ridiculed all of middle school, she feels alone. She is ready to die, that’s been me. Now, imagine her realizing that, she doesn’t have to fit in with the crowd, to survive. That girl is me, and I am finally, fully confident and happy. I am beautiful, because I’m me and I’m no one else.

My Best Friend I met my best friend Asaha, in the 5th grade. She was a grade and year higher than me. I barely knew her, I just saw her around a couple of times. We met again in 7th; she had failed and was back in the 7th grade. I know it sounds bad but, if it had not happened, we would not be friends. We instantly clicked over the same taste in music and our similar personalities. We became best friends when I discovered “emo” online. I saw the pictures and decided that I wanted to be that girl, the emo girl. I told her along with the rest of my friends. They thought the idea was stupid, but Asaha thought the idea was unique and smart. So we decided to do it together. It worked for her, people accepted her, but it was hard for me, people were hard on me. But she told me to continue being that way because she felt I was finally being myself and no one else. Last year, I moved and came to Frankford, but before I left, I decided that I wanted to be remembered so I got Asaha and her ex back together. They are happily together and tweeting about each other every minute. It makes me happy to see her that happy, but I’m a little sad. I miss her; she was the first person I ever met, whom I thought was meant to be my older sister because she treated me like I was her age and always told me to follow my dreams and be myself. So I no longer consider her my best friend, she is my big-twin sister.

Tying Loose Ends Joy overcame me as I placed the pink, silvery chocker on my neck. “Bryan, take a picture,” I said to my stepdad a little to over excited. FLASH! The camera took me by surprise, could have swore, I blinked. “Let me see, Let me see,” in my opinion I looked like a newborn baby, eyes wide, full of curiosity. He turned the screen in my direction, I smiled like the 1st, Miss America did when she won. It was Saturday; I was in Children’s Place at Franklin Mills Mall. I was out doing a little, “trend shopping,” I was looking for new accessories to wear to school. I consider my self a cutting edge fashionista, I wear things that most people won’t wear; Extremely long earrings with cross, skull and peace sign pendants at end. It’s my way of showing people, that I’m a unique soul. Don’t get me wrong fashion is my life; every aspect of it interests me. I just refuse to dress like everyone else. But I do enjoy making people over in my mind. It’s my favorite past time, it make me happy and helps me with my “people anxiety,” I sort of have a fear, of large crowds of people that I don’t know. So I’ve trained myself to look at clothing, relax myself and manage. Personally, I am a hand me downs girl and I don’t mind it either. The fact that my mom doesn’t have to waste money on name brand clothes or shoes makes me happy. Plus, the clothes I get are absolutely fabulous. I’m guilty of wearing just wearing graphic tees and jeans with black leather converse all the time. Because it’s just easy to throw on, it’s easy jeans and black sneakers go with every graphic tee. So I have to get out of that faze, that is why my t.v now stays on The Style Network 24’7, Ok all most.

Dear Soemo, It's quite hilarious, that people think they have me all figured out. My mom swears, I only care about me, myself and I. Do I? I only care about people who care for me, who love me and who enjoy my company.Wrong Mom. Try Again. Love, Deja Vu, Aimee Jones, Gracie Freeman and Lola Armstrong

Dear Soemo, I thought to myself last night, about my past and how some of it sucked, I thought about my present and how I had not been true to myself since came to this school. How I've been letting stupid little crushes,change who I am. Then I thought about my future, being a fashion journalist and stylist. About how one day, I want to own my own magazine. I thought about how none of my dreams would ever come true, if, I am not confident, head strong, focused and independent. I need to focus on what matters most to me family,fashion and most importantly writing and music. I looked at my collage of successful,beautiful and large salary, independent women. Who pay their own bill, bought their own homes and don't have time for someone who is not going to respect them or their dreams. Love,Deja Vu,Aimee Jones, Gracie Freeman and Lola Armstrong

Dear Soemo, I never been the type to enjoy the limelight, nor avoid it completely. It's nice to be acknowleged sometimes, but it still seems no matter where I am, I never fit in. Is it a curse? or a gift? I'm guessing I'm just the loner type. Having friends, is it that important? I find myself more happy in the library by myself, then eating lunch with my friends.It's peaceful, quiet and nice. I cool of because sometimes, I want to lose it, scream,yell and hurt people.But after twenty minutes in the library, I'm calm. To me the library is my heaven on earth. Im afraid that I rather be alone,that I'll always be a loner, yet I enjoy the company of other people.It's so confusing sometimes. Love, Deja,Aimee,Gracie and Lola
