Self Righteousness

Why is it that some people think that they can point out the flaws in everyone and anyone around them, yet change nothing about themselves? I mean, come on. No one's perfect, and if you pretend you are then that's just it. You're pretending. Now, I don't wanna get into anything personal, but let's just say there are a few members of my family that either think the world around themselves, or they think that they have some sort of right to criticize me when they are worse off than I am.

You know what, I am really sick of this, now that I think about it! I hadn't realized how heated I was until I started typing. I guess this needed to be typed. I'm not sure why I decided to type this, I just knew I needed to say it. Now, I'm used to having crappy stuff said to or about me. It happens not only as a DUFF, but as a person in general. But that doesn't mean I have to like it.

What even makes people think that they have a right to act his way? Do they have a giant ego or do they think they're all that? Do they think they're helping? If so, then they really need a reality check. I don't even understand the mentality of some people.

Well, that's all. It's not much, but it's something. I know I don't have any readers yet, but I'm trying to build up some sort of an archive for when/if I get some readers.

Introduction

Hello, my name is Melody. I'm 13, and I'm a DUFF. I never really called myself that until now, but I'm glad there's actually a title. At first, it bothered the heck out of me. Why me? Why did I have to be the designated ugly, fat, friend? I was outraged, insulted, and just plain upset that I had a label like that.

But after a lot of crying, a lot of thinking, awesome friends and the influence of a certain movie, I'm proud of being a DUFF. This blog will be here for DUFFS to connect and share their stories in the comments. That is, if you want. The main thing I've come to realize as a DUFF is that it's all about perspective. DUFF is only a bad thing if you look at it that way. Personally, I like being a DUFF because I find it much more satisfying to surprise people with my awesomeness, when they think I'm going to be lame. When my awesomeness shows, there's no stopping this DUFF!

Now that that's out of the way, let's get down to the summary of this whole spiel. This blog will talk about and reveal all the things that a DUFF such as myself goes through on a daily basis. From epiphanies, to life lessons, to rants and everything in between. Before anyone gets the wrong idea, I'm not ashamed about being a DUFF. In fact, I'm proud of it! I'm not starting this thing looking for sympathy, or concern, or anything like that. I'm starting this because I want other DUFF's out there to know that there's nothing wrong with being a DUFF. Woo, now that that's all said and done, I have to bounce! Yes, I know this is a short post, but it's just the introduction! The posts soon to come will be longer, funnier, and hopefully way more inspiring!
