Poll question: Do you do what people expect of you, or are you true to yourself?
Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

In other words, very true to myself. Not always though and coming full circle again wasn't without some battle scars.
