Content Loner

Each day I wake up not wanting to go to school...and its not because I just don't want to.
I hate wasting all these beautiful days inside....I wouldn't mind if I wasn't confined to such a area where I can be myself but I am judge by my opinions.

I use to dread going to school for the first few weeks because I didn't have anyone to hang out with..but when I did I found myself more confined than I did when I was alone. I didn't know why I felt this way, and it drove me insane almost every night since school started I've cried myself to sleep trying to figure out things about myself.

After a while of thinking...a near death experience...a good sleep...and a nice day, I realize why I felt that way. I am content with being a loner in atmospheres like school, because I want to be classified as me. Not as them. In a place where someone walks in and try to figure out what group you are in. I am my own person, and I want to be seen as that.
I have my close and good friends who get that, and I don't mind being classified with them but we are all different enough in personality that we are considered a group of different people.

I'm not saying that I'm against meeting new people, because I love making new friends, but I'm better at on on one convo because its a chance to get to know somone and them to get to know you without the influence of the rest of the crowd...and vice versa.

Today, I got told that I intrigue someone to the point of confusion. I was called different, because I believe something and I believe it on my own accord, and that I look confident being a "loner."
I use to despise that, being classified.
But after recent reflection...I can say at this point I am proud to be considered a "loner."
Content with myself. And my life.
