Summary: Society has a mold that you need to fit. It's black and white. There's no room to be yourself. DL
A/N: No clue where this came from. Well…I guess from the black hole I like to call my mind. Stupid plot bunnies….
Happy Reading!
Chapter one- Being Yourself Pt. 1
Being yourself. It's a subject that pops up many times. Parents, siblings, teachers, friends, even principles and counselors will tell you these two word-Be yourself. What is being yourself anyhow? In life, do you really ever find out how to be yourself? In my mind, if you're being yourself, you don't care what other people think. Here's where we enter problem zone. No one wakes up everyday, and truly doesn't care what others think. It is impossible.
Okay. So let's say that we know how to be ourselves. It's still impossible. Society has a mold that you need to fit. It's black and white. There's no room to be yourself.
Every time we go somewhere, we're being judged, stereotyped. We are told how to look, how to dress, and how to act. Those who don't follow these expectations are judged and ridiculed by those who do. Those who do follow these expectations are judged and ridiculed by those who don't. Either way, we're stereotyped into groups. People look then judge. It's the way of life, and there's no way of getting away from it.
You see? We can't be ourselves. That person is locked away deep inside of us, waiting to be let free. Waiting for us to break free from the mold and, be ourselves.
But as I said before, being yourself is impossible.
A/N: Okay, so it was extremely short. But I thought that it was pretty good. Please review.
