Why can’t you be yourself? Be unique? Why does everybody think that we need to conform? To all be the same? To be drones? To all look the same? Dress the same? To even think the same way?
Surely one of the main things about being human is that we are all individuals, then if, why are we not allowed to act individually? To act as an individual, to stand out is almost socially unacceptable.
For example, lets say the girl who dresses all in black, wears black makeup, black lipstick. Why do some of you want to look down on her, as if she some kind of weirdo?
Just because she doesn’t conform to “your” set of standards, you point at her as something strange. Well “fuck you” for thinking that way. Perhaps she see’s you as strange because you wear the same outfit as your friend Sharon in which case you look like a pale copy of your friend or vice versa.
What about the man who has tattoo’s all over his body, neck and face? Are you looking at him with fear and suspicion because of the way he looks? Well, I’ve met him and many others like him and he’s a really nice guy.
Then let’s take me.
Its taking me 50 years to realise that I’m something that society deems to be “abnormal” but I’ve chosen to go down this path because this is what makes me feel happy inside. I don’t expect you to understand but this is what makes me happy. Yes, I don’t fit into your little social centric box of being normal because normal makes me unhappy!
I’ve had the miss pleasure today of walking round the Trafford centre something that I don’t particularly like.
One likes to shop but I don’t like the Trafford centre and the only reason I go is because the staff at Boots know me, they know what I like, they know what I want to buy.
The number of people in there today that have looked down their noses at me and my friend because we go against social normality. Those people, fuck you, and if I were you i’d honestly think before you cast aspertions on other people. Perhaps you should look in the mirror as you aren’t Mr and Mrs Perfect.
I will wear what I want to wear. I will dress how I want to dress. I will do my makeup as I see fit and if society or other people don’t like that I don’t care. Why should I confirm to a social stereotypes to make other people feel comfortable?
If you do feel uncomfortable around me because of how I’m dressed then that says more about your mental state than my mental state. You only see the clothes and not the person underneath.
Am I doing such a bad thing? Or am I just a nutter? Am I somebody that’s found happiness being of what I want to be? Is society’s view so bad that anything other than “normal” is protrayed as weird?
If I told you, “you can’t have tattoo’s” or “you cant have a nose piercing” you’d more than likely tell me to Uck foff!
Well, please feel free to do the same.
