When I was a child, my heroes varied from comic book characters, political and historical figure, and even female adult workers.
They all had something in common, they did what they wanted regardless of what others thought.
Now, of course there is the cliche message: "Be who you are, who cares what people say!"
But as we grow up, I notice many adults do lean to conform more and more for various reasons. It could be they just want to be normal, laziness, just going with the flow, or the fear of being ridiculed.
I know I was often insulted and put down by my family because of the way I was. It has been affecting me the past month.
Today I just went out wearing my foxtail. For some reason, for some that is a sign of immaturity and craziness.
I just think, it's just a piece of clothing that I like to wear.
Then I reminded myself that I shouldn't try to molded into something that other people created.
I mean being an adult is taking responsibility and control over yourself.
Besides, if I would have followed the norms and listen to what family had to say, I would be pregnant and married with a machismo jerk.
Also, the best adults know when to act like kids.
I know, I know, this is soooo cliche. But, if it didn't need saying, than why do I still see people being afraid of something they don't understand and judge it without asking questions?
