I have to seem like a human being all the time, but I seldom have to be one. I have people to do that for me.

About This Quote

I have to seem like a human being all the time, but I seldom have to be one. I have people to do that for me. When you are born with certain gifts, you are treated as if you were a special person. However, these gifts are not always necessary for you to be happy or loved.

You can choose to surround yourself with people who make you happy, either by nature or by choice. It doesn’t matter if others don’t understand you or think you can’t be loved because of who you are. You will still believe that you are loved and that your life is perfect.
