 <html>@&lt;span class=&quot;vcard&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://rainbowdash.net/user/1768&quot; class=&quot;url&quot; title=&quot;Dissociated&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;fn nickname mention&quot;&gt;snowcone&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; I get what you are both saying. I am always trying to improve myself. The flaws I am talking about are things like: I stick to my ideals, so I have a tendency to argue, and I have ADD, but that makes me very creative. And I have asthma, but that has merely made me even more determined to work myself until I can run faster and farther than someone who doesn't. The kind of flaws that are directly connected to my identity, and vice-versa. To reject asthma, ADD, or arguing would be to reject my identity. To refuse to be myself.</html>
