Accepting Yourself

 
 
It is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of the solitude. That was once said by Emerson in his “Self-Reliance” essay. The phrase above states that its easy to forget who you are when you are in among a crowd of people or your friends, but the one who can be him or herself when they are around a crowd is the real you.I was transferred from a work farm out in the south to the Oregon psychiatric hospital all of the other patients in the ward notice something different about him. I caused most of the disturbance during the night calling the nurses and the aides inappropria
 
 


The aide's told me I was influencing the other men to go wrong and do wrong. There was this one nurse who I couldn't stand at all so I bet I could make her go off on me by the end of the week, for sure I could get kicked out then. Everyone just needs to be their self and not care what other people think, be yourself around your friends, family, teachers and you will be fine in life. I know I have done wrong and I know that I will have to pay the consequences now, I learned to accept that's who I am and I am not willing to change for anyone. " I did not care if I got out or not, that is who I was. I made many new friends in Oregon and I feel better about myself, I made people realize who they are really are and that is who they need to be when they are around everyone else. I placed many bets that I could get transferred out of that ward just as fast as I did the one before that, and the one before that. I had many people who didn't like me and many people said "Well, Randle if you want them to think you are cured, you better change or you are never going to get out here. I was myself, I was who I wanted to be, I did what I wanted when I was around everyone else. I didn't like any of the other men in my ward, they were very different than me. The other men in the ward learned to accept me for who I am and after awhile were fine. I was just showing them that they are the same as me, I made them realize who they are and taught them to be themself. They acted as if they were in there and haven't did a thing wrong in their entire life and act as if they were fine.
