You are a beautiful snowflake.

Think about how much time you take in a day to make yourself look presentable. Now, think about WHO you're presenting yourself for. Is it you? A loved one? That cute girl that sits in front of you in class? Your cat? Or is it those people you'll walk by during the day and never see again? The public? And why do you take so much time in a day to get ready? Is it because you want to? Or is it because you don't want people to think you look funny, or not normal, or that you feel like you have to fit a dress code to feel wanted?

I thought this was just a problem in high school, dressing up everyday in a certain way because you were 'a part' of some certain group type. Unfortunately, this is a problem that people deal with everyday. And it's not just how you dress or present yourself. It's how you act, your hair color, your hobbies, your weight and body shape. It's everything you do. People feel the need to hide certain parts of them and modify their tastes so they don't stand out or so that they fit with their 'group'. But is it even worth it?

People waste so much time wondering "Will people look at me weird if I wear this?" or "I can't go out looking like this, I need to lose like 50 pounds". What's even worse is when these people tell me that I can't or shouldn't do something because it's so weird. Let me just throw this out there: I do not give a single FUCK about if I am weird or not.

 If someone is going to judge me for wearing creepers or having a septum ring or liking kids movies, then they are not worth my time. If someone is going to roll their eyes at me because I collect Monster High dolls or because I love Halloween and hula hooping more than anything, then so be it. That person or group of people are too close minded to accept me, and I'm okay with that! I don't want to waste my time trying to please people. I'm simply happy just doing whatever makes me happy.

I wish that people would start living like this. I know too many people who live their lives based on the opinions of others. If someone is too different, or if they're too different, they freeze up and won't interact or they'll change themselves. No one should feel like they aren't adequate enough just because they like different things and dress differently. DO WHAT YOU WANT TO. If someone makes fun of you for whatever you're doing, leave them. If someone can't accept you for who you are, kick them to the curb. IT IS NOT WORTH IT TO PLEASE OTHERS WHEN YOU ARE UNHAPPY. There are people in the world that are happy with your simple, quirky self. Everyone is different; there will be something about you other people may not get, and that is okay.

I just have a lot of feelings right now, so this post completely went on a rant about everything that's been bothering me lately, so sorry if that was confusing at all. I'm not even sure what I just wrote.... All I know is that you are special and unique like a frickin' snowflake, so go out there and be your beautiful snowflake self.
