I am a Square.
I am a Square trying to fit in a Round hole.
Why would I continue to try to fit in this Round hole?
I am a Square who does NOT fit into those Round holes.
I could try to fit my Squareness into that Round hole, but it would damage my Squareness. It would shave my corners off, then I’d be a damaged Square…..a fake Circle. But I would fit into that Round hole. I would be a fake Circle, hanging out with Circles that fit into that Round hole.
I would still not be a Circle.
And I would have changed the essence of ME in the process.
How important is it for me to damage my Squareness just to fit in with the Circles that fit into that Round hole? Are the Circles all that great that I would want to risk it? And just because I made it into that Round hole does not mean they will accept me into their Circle anyway.
Maybe I’ll embrace my Squareness.
And hang out with the other Squares.
Thank you for visiting the inside of my brain today. It’s dark in here, but it sure is sparkly! 
Dana, how did you know that I needed to read that tonight? Because I’m a square, too (or maybe a triangle, or a pentagon.. but definitely NOT a smooth circle). And I spend way too much time trying to be a circle and to fit into that round hole. My boy is a square as well; praying that God will show me a way to help him embrace what he is rather than damaging himself as he tries to be what he is not. You rock, sparkly-brained woman!
Love that sparkly mind of yours! Us three squares would get along marvelously – cuz God has been building this friendship for awhile. Now I’m just waiting to meet my other two squares in person!
I adore you ladies! Completely and thoroughly adore you! We would knock those Circles on their round bottoms! HAAAAAA
What about when you thought you were a circle, then realized you were a square, but then figured out that we are ALL actually squares?! How profound is that?
I love you Dana. You’re brain is capable of writing what I feel most of the time! Love it!
Aw, Dana. I love your squareness! Circles are stuck up, stick with the squares!
