I recently stumbled across this interview with James Murphy (of LCD Soundsystem) where he talks about being a failure for most of his life and how he finally learned that it was okay to be himself. This interview really spoke to me (he could almost be talking about my early life), so I thought I'd pass it on. Learning that it's okay to be yourself is still something that I'm still struggling with even today.

(The website is in Swedish, but the video is in English).

Thanks for posting this. It was very inspirational, I feel the same way you do.
