I wake up first and look around, Samuel is lying on a chair beside me. I put on my slippers, then walk outside. I lift my ipod before going out and sit up on a chair and scan through twitter;
Lindsay; Great Party, Horrible Ending.
Damian; Hearing Is Not Always Believing.
Samuel; I'm Sick Of The Drama, I Want It All To Just Be Ok.
Me; I Just Want To Be Like Everyone Else.
I say and start thinking about everything that has happened, I log on to my tumblr and start writing;
I wanted to write this because of recent events that happened outside of the house. I went shopping with the fantastic 5 during Rockability week (Fantastic 5 consisting of Samuel, Cameron, Damian, Marissa and Lindsay) and a guy said to me about being a metalhead and hanging out with a nerd (Cameron) a prep (Damian) and an Indie kid (Samuel). (He didn't see the girls.) And Samuel looked at me, wondering what an 'Indie Kid' was. I think it hurt me more than it hurt him and the guys.
An 'Indie kid' Is away to describe someone who likee Music, Sam likes Indie, Rock, Pop, Country- basically everything (Except Metal-Damn.)
I could have did this as a twitcam, but with how emotional I get, I could have swore, or cried, or something like that, and I think words are a better way to express feelings- it's how we get the lyrics to songs after all.
I'm listening to Saviour by Black Veil Brides on repeat and I love it, it means a lot to me and it's making me think of what is going on, with the labelling I mean.
Indie, Prep, Geek, Popular, Loner, MetalHead, Emo, Bitch, Slut, Whore, Easy, Player, Worthless, Useless, Unwanted, Freak, Misunderstood, Fat, Anorexic, Ignorant, Used, Denied, Gay, Homo, Lesbian, Weird, Different. – Words like this are used in everyday life to label us, and we do it to each other as well, we just don't realise it. I WAS A self-professed MetalHead, I'm notuu now. Not since the guy called Samuel an Indie Kid, Cameron a Geek and Damian a Prep, because they are so much more than that. We all are in a way.
I'm not just a metalhead. I like pop music (A bit) I like the colour pink and I care about people, but I hide behind the label because it makes me safe. A lot of us Label ourselves and at our age apparently we all WANT to be DIFFERENT. Not really, I don't mind if I like the same things as others, even though with my weird tastes, that is highly unlikely.
Although, there is a difference in 'Labelling' and 'Branding' People branded me as a freak, weird, emo, scene. I hated that and millions of teens all over the world today are being branded.
So what is the big ending to this? Labels are for soup, not people.
Love, Peace And Happiness,
Nicola. Xo.
