Influential People Part 2

continuing from the last post...

And then of course, every date I've ever been on I've learned something from that person. i don't know if I've ever had a bad date. Hopefully I didn't jinx it.

And finally, of course, we have LIGHTS. She surprises me every now and then in the wisdom she displays proving that she is not just another carbon-copy musician. There are times when I even find her inspirational. Her message seems to be a constant one of "find who you are and be happy with yourself", and her life is a constant example of that. There are times in an interview where she starts talking about WoW or really (like really) nerdy stuff (for example, one time she said "RL" instead of "real life" during an interview XD) that makes me kinda cringe thinking, "oh Lights, you just revealed how much of a geek and weirdo you really are". But she doesn't seem to care and you would think she's either too airheaded or innocently oblivious to all this until you come to hear her talk about her past or when she gives advice to people. Things like "it's not cool to be popular" or "honestly, if you don't fit in, you're doing something right". And when you really get to know her you realize that all this was born out of a somewhat tragic high school experience.

So yeah, she smiles way too much, she laughs way too much, her inner kid reveals itself a little way too much, but maybe that's why we love her, because she reminds us that it IS possible to be yourself with a sincere unconcern in feeling you need to be what the world wants you to be.
