Personal space is something you have to establish so you can avoid your
neighbor's Jimmy Dean breath and so the small man at the bodega doesn't
touch you with his fever blister. The amount of personal space you need
is based on your cultural upbringing and how well your current dosage
of Wellbutrin is working.
People who don't respect personal space are usually perverts, muggers or
Polish.
You can be whoever you want to be, unless who you want to be is taller
and kind, because God just didn't
build you that way. Your future isn't limited by your past, unless you
were a whore in high school or were deprived of oxygen during the birthing
process because those are pretty hard to recover from.
You can be whoever you want to be, especially online where no one
can
see your pock marks and pervert's complexion.
