A lot of the time
people let society tell them who to be. What color to dye their hair, what
shoes to wear, what kinds of clothes to wear. Even as much as what to eat, when
to eat it, and where to eat it. Don’t you get so sick of this? Just for once do
you wish you could wear those really out of date shows with bright pink
leggings without getting weird, disapproving looks. Without having the feeling
of insecurity, no matter what you're doing. Yeah, me too.
I've been thinking a
lot about what society says is okay and not okay. I've decided that, society
shouldn't tell me what is okay and what isn't. I shouldn't have to wake up in
the morning and decide what’s okay to wear. I shouldn't have to think about what
I'm about to order from Chick-Fil-A and whether or not I'll be judged because
of this choice. I shouldn't have to think about what kind of shoes will be
appropriate and get me the least judgment from the mean girl cliques at school.
I shouldn't have to have these thoughts of what will society accept because
society shouldn't be based on all of these material things.
Do you make friends
because of your name brand backpack or designer shoes? Or do you make friends
because of the style of clothes you wear and the diet of food you are on? No.
You make friends because of your personality and who you are on the inside. So
why do we value everything else, so much? Why are people judged because of what
size clothes you wear, and how long their hair is, what kind of makeup they
wear. Or how much makeup they wear. Why do we value all of these things.
Because society taught us to value these things rather than the person you are
the person the people are as they come along throughout your life.
Do what you want.
Wear Ugg boots in ninety degree weather, eat the biggest container of fries you
can find after a bad day, wear pink on pink if that makes you happy. Talk to
the woman who wears pigtails as an adult, to the woman who wears too much makeup
for your liking, or to the woman who you just haven't ever thought about talking
to. Judge people a little less, learn people a little more. Stop labeling
everyone according to their appearance and your perception of them. Start
accepting. Start learning.
Over and Out,
B
