Stereowhat?

Ugh, sometimes things really bug me and stereotypes are one of them, for many reasons. People are so weird about it.  People need to be able to be who they are because that is who they are, not try to hide it so they don't become a stereotype. But what is even more frustrating, is when people try to become a stereotype, a trendy one, a familiar one, a interesting stereotype. Gross. If that is who you are, great, but why try to become something and fit a mould you just were not meant to fit. 

These thoughts happen way to much: 

I artistic so I must appear esthetically not-the-norm as well.
I am athletic so I have to be tough as well.
I am gay so I have to feminine and fashionable as well. 
I am a lesbian so I have to be masculine as well. 
I am young so I have to get drunk as well.

Blah blah blah, and the lame list goes on. 

If the above is who you are, and I mean who you truly are, then fine. But don't try to be that when your not, it shows, you think you can fake it, but you only end up being fake. 

Be yourself, a lot of work has gone into making you, you. So embrace it.

i agree. you write so beautifully and well. you should be a writer ( but that means you would have to live like a hermit because thats how writers live. jk) but seriously, if you wanted to be a writer you could be amazing as one.
