John Barrowman - "I Am What I Am"

Thought this would be a great song to introduce to the new generation,
and John's moving intro as to how meaningful it is to him (as well as
his boundless enthusiasm and heart) are the perfect match for this piece.

What a beautiful sentiment, and we don't dwell on it nearly enough.

When we wake up in the morning, wherever we go during the day,
we have to proudly and defiantly proclaim that our lives are worth living,
that our wants are worthwhile, and that our feelings are valid. Be strong!

Why I Love Popeye

He's not worried about fashion.

He's not worried about the fact that he looks different.

He's tough, determined, and courageous.

He doesn't mind taking on a bully three times bigger than him.

He embraces his weirdness.

His motto is "I Am What I Am."

He does his thing and doesn't give a flip what the rest of the
  world thinks, says, or does about it.

YOU GO, POPEYE!
