Perspectives

These are some statements that I have thought up over the past few years--they serve well in justifying what some would deem undesirable qualities:

• I'm not slow, I'm thorough.
• I'm not gullible, I'm trusting.
• I'm not afraid, I'm cautious.
• I'm not forgetful, I'm just good at letting go of the past.
• I'm not confused, I'm just awaiting enlightenment.
• "I'm not weird, I'm misunderstood." (composed by one of my brother's friends)
