Something you need to know.

I despise people who label one another. It drives me completely mentally insane. The reason :0 Practical ^^.

You can't be a label. You just can't be.
Let me give an example.

People call me "goth".
The sterio types in this damn society of "goth" are:
Wear only black.
Wear dark make up
Anti-social
etc. etc.

Me:
I don't wear black ALL the time
I do wear dark make up but that's a matter of preference
I'm not anti-social at all. I'm very friendly.

So why do people call me "goth". Because i'm different, and it scares them.
If you were a label, you would be the word "goth" or "emo". You wouldn't be a person.
Why do we label on another? Why do we have to judge peopl off the bat?
Damn society.
I blame the media.

Also, there are people out there who will probably say "Oh suck it up. Labeling is a part of everyday life, GET USED TO IT".
Well, i have one thing to say to that.
Murder is a part of everyday life, does that mean that the goverment turns the other cheek when a serial killer is on the loose.
NO.
Rasism is a part of everyday life, does that mean that we do nothing about descrimination.
NO
We do something about it. We fight!
So why should this be any different.

Yeah, labeling is a part of the world and that will never change, but that is NO reason why I can't defend myself against it.

Thank you for reading. biggrin
