It's kind of like this:
You have to
have the nicest jeans, cutest purse,
or say the newest thing so it catches on.
You have to be skinny, you have to buy this,
wear this, say that, be on his side, her side,
be neutral, have white teeth, have straight teeth,
your hair can't be frizzy, and you can't wear that
because it doesnt 'work' anymore. You have to
go to parties, be friends with everyone, trust no one,
pose like this, smile like that, tilt your head this way,
and put your hand on your hip, because that's how it
is.
And let me just say, forget all
of that. Be
yourself.

I love this quote so much. You're just speaking the truth, I think. And I definitely feel the same as you♥ I never really noticed what I was doing, but honestly, I subconciously did everything up there.
And then I noticed, and stopped.
And although I'm not what you'd call 'happy', I'd definitely call myself a free spirit, and happier than some of 'them' who are still trapped :(
I love this soo mucchh.♥

100% Agreed! I use to fit in, but now i try my best to stand out instead. i think everyone should stand out instead of trying to live up to everyone elses expectations just to please them instead of yourselves. its so much better pleasing yourself than trying to please them. if they dont like who you are, then screw them. i think we all should be accepeted for who we are, not who we are not.
