@DFscapers It was a rough point in my life, and I'm thankfully over it. Now I got more realistic problems to worry about, like bills and food. It's more rough, but I prefer it to those other times. ;)
Even though I do not know you, know that YOU are beauty. It is not easy to love who you are and even harder to share our imperfections-I struggle with this daily (and people think I am one of the most happiest people). I have my own secrets and they may not be as dark-they still haunt me. Whether you expect it or not, change happens. Virtual hug.
Change happens, better or worse, regardless if it's wanted or not. Just roll with the punches, you know? Make the best of things, because in the end, this thing we call living is nice. Enjoy while you can. ;)
Pretty much. I'm sure this is a phase a lot of people have already gone through, but I'm a late bloomer I suppose. Heck, I don't even think I was alive until 23, and that's just a downright shame. :S
I think we all feel that way in a sense. I'm sure there are people who think that way about you, that you exude life and are incredibly awesome and unique, and want to be around you and a part of your life. I think everyone has that secret they keep to themselves, that they feel they'll never be a part of anything good, that they're a waste, etc. I feel that all the time. Like I'm just wasting my life on the sidelines. Truth is, we're not. It's just confidence we lack :P
In fact, at first I thought you were talking about a picture of yourself maybe. Because I think you're all the things you described of the person in the picture :)
Thank you for the compliment, but if I could have half the skills, knowledge, and experience of the other person, I think I would be a little more fitting for your words. But...I suppose that's the point? To have my own beauty and worth, and not another's? ;)
Well, if those people are really out there, I think they need to step up a bit, because it's a hard to see something for yourself, even if it's right in front of you. :P
Confidence and perception is always key with things like this, and being able to understand not only the world but you personally. And you can't really know yourself if you don't put yourself through things that are not just good, but bad as well. Life is a mix of experiences, that it is. Ever ready for the next.
Sometimes you gotta face the truth: You don't need anyone else other than yourself. In a lot of moments of life, people will realize that the friends, family, mates they have, won't be able to help them or satisfy them, and then all that counts is yourself. The people who are "friend-dependent" that always rely on these people (mainly in good times), will have a harder time to cope.
A lot of one's happiness depends on the self, yes, but one also needs others in their life. You can't have real conversations or help by your lonesome. We need others. No one births themselves. ;)
And in regards to the photos I was talking about, not really. The person I spoke of was just as amazing in the real as in the still. Granted, they have their own issues and problems that aren't open for all to see, but I like to think that such things make them all the more unique. :)
Good to note I've struck some emotions within you. At least I can tell you that this is past me (newest uploaded video to compare), even though I have my days. Life is better, even if the reality hasn't changed much. ;)
Dude? Best get yourself out of that dark place and get busy. You have a lot to show the world, and you know it. Yeah, it's a mess of a path most of the time, but we live it. For glory! ;)
We make our lives more difficult by comparing ourselves to others. The other person cannot see the world as you do. Their description of an event you both saw will be nothing like yours at all. Though they do not see more beauty than you. For there is no good or bad in this world, just your perception of what is good and bad.
To truly love anything in this world, you need to first forgive and accept yourself for who you are, as who you are has no comparison.
At one point, I would say this is what this video was: accepting myself for who I am. But I really just think it was a very bad place in my life that I thankfully have the sense to know otherwise.
And I do relish the perception of another, for the very fact they do not see the world as I do. One cannot truly evolve into something more if all they do is see things from their own eyes. Sharing and expanding upon what perceive, the never ending process that it is. :D

Wow, that was amazing. It brought tears to my eyes and also hit a little to close to home.
Thank you for sharing it.
