Teenage Rage II
Worrying about who you are is tough. Its hard to figure out where you fit and and what you’re good at especially when you worry too much about what people will think about you. Everyone who wants to fit in fall into a certain category called the sterotypes.
When you actually think things through as you age, you’re going to treat all of those things as crap. As a society in general, we are already shaped in a young age to fit in somewhere. When I was in highschool, I listened to emo music, I have long bangs that covered my one eye. I almost never follow the rules given in school and I can raise an eyebrow to our unit head. Also, I have friends who loved dancing who wanted to be cheerleaders and I have friends from the basketball varsity who thinks that they’re handsome enough to jerk around. I’m saying these not to brag that I have lot of friends but to show you that it’s hard not to fit into a certain category when you’re a teen.
Honestly, I was never the most popular kid in school and maybe not even close. I floated somewhere in the middle, but popularity never mattered to me. I have set of friends but it didn’t matter if they we’re only a few. I may have experienced falling into a certain variety of teenagers but it wasn’t because I wasn’t my own self. Whatever I was when I was younger, it was really me. I’ve never done things just because I wanted to fit in and seeing people try hard, worrying about all the stress, doing things they don’t really feel like doing just to gain friends is quite disappointing.
I just don’t understand why people try so hard to paint if they weren’t born to paint. Or to dance when they’re supposed to sing. Or dress skimpy when they look better in a normal outfit. How come some people don’t have a spirit of honesty inside them?
Just don’t get stressed with fitting in if you don’t feel like. The only thing that matters at the end of the day is that you love yourself. People might tell you things about what they think about you and they say that because that’s how they perceive you and that might be right. Maybe people would pinpoint me as someone who loves to take pictures and write but seriously, I’m much more than that.
Who cares about what other people say? As long as you understand your strengths and your flaws equally, there’s only a little possibility that something might go wrong. Never be ashamed of the things that you are good at and never make excuses for the things you’re bad at. Be confident about who you are.
If you’re good at singing then sing. If you’re good in writing, then write. Because honestly, that’s all there is to it.
