This is long, but it's important to me that I share this
A quick reminder that the people you surround yourselves with do have an impact on you as a person. To prove this I'll be the one to say that last semester and the beginning of this one, I sat with a group of boys who were just terrible. They would constantly degrade women, people of other races, and even special needs kids. Now, of course I wouldn't laugh at any of their jokes and I would try to stand up for people when I had the strength, but that wasn't enough. It got tiring day after day, trying to explain things to them. December and January were the scariest months for me because, I'll admit, I started thinking like them. A thought would pop into my head and I would immediately regret it. It's like I could taste how disgusting I was thinking and acting, and I knew it had been coming, that's the thing. I have heard my whole life the quotes like "Bad company corrupts good character" and "You can't keep a clean reputation hanging out with messy people." but I never, ever believed that it would apply to me. The hate that my thoughts expressed led me to hate myself, and I started to believe that I deserved that hate.
This week, I finally got the courage to get up and move to a different table. I'm not happy that I wasn't able to stop them, and I'm definitely not happy knowing that they're going to continue with the way they talk about people and other topics, but I am happy that even though it took time, I got out. Those boys made me think things that I would have never have if I wouldn't have sat with them. Sure at the start I made the wrong choice, but you can't go back in time to change your choices. You can however, put in effort to make them right and do the right thing. I am deeply sorry for the things I thought, they were evil and bitter, and if I would have said them out loud the people around me would have expressed such distaste that I hope they would have seen that something inside me had changed.
Please, put good people in your life. People who make you laugh and people who not only encourage you but encourage others as well.
~You'll get lost along the way but you can always turn around, Electra.

Do dignity and me rhyme? I've used two different sites and one says yes and one says no, could you give a short explanation too? I'm just really confused.
Holysocks I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. Could you repeat the question? c:

So I am thoroughly confused about couplets. I always see them as:
A
A
and that's it but can you make them as long as you want, as in:
A
A
B
B
C
C
and so on? Or do you just leave it as the two? Sorry if this doesn't make any sense whatsoever and I didn't really know where to ask it so I'm just gonna shout into the void and hope for the best.
Morrigan A couplet is a single pair of lines ending in the same rhyme. But you can make a poem out of a bunch of couplets. That's what I was taught, anyway.

Love yourself with your whole heart. Not 1/3 or half, but all. You deserve that. I don't want to see love in fractions, I want to see it consume you, eat you whole.
~Radiate love, Electra
MandlynProductions I am not sure how you love yourself with a large muscle which pumps blood to all your blood in your body. I don't want to be a jerk but I am just asking.

You can be selfish, sometimes it's important that you are. You need to put yourself first sometimes and you need to know that you're important. If you don't, take a day and be selfish, relish in the fact that you are great and can do great things. Sometimes to be self accepted, you have to be selfish.
~Love, Electra

You decide how your day is going to go, remain positive and happy. Smile a big old grin to everyone and make them a little happy too. I want to tell you all to make it a great day as often as I can.
~Love you all, Electra
