Socially Acceptable?

There once was a time when people noticed you

For your brains, not your looks.

For your kindness, not your popularity.

For your confidence, not your habit of putting others beneath you. 

For your honesty, not your "coolness" factor

Most of that is in the past

It's unfortunate, but it can change
Stand out, be the difference that needs to happen

You can influence people.
