I live in a town, where if you don't belong to a certain clique, you get shunned from the community. And in the event of being shunned, you banish yourself to your house, and on occasion you go grocery shopping. Around here if your not a "stuck up way-too-good ass monkey" or a "fuck society i just want to get high junkie" your nobody. I'm not saying that I have a problem with them, because it's not really them that make up that rule, its everyone else.Everyone else who puts you in either of those categories. There is about 8 of them, and they are "the mafia". Yeah, that's what they call themselves. So, unless you want to get shunned by the mafia, you have to fit into one of these categories. They force you to conform to such a general group, that you have to completely change who you are just to fit in. I'd like to point out that fitting in, isn't all that great. All it is ((basically)) is making the decision to dress a certain way, talk a certain way, talk to certain people, and do certain things until you decide you want to be your own person again.
I'm writing this, because the other day, "the mafia" tried to tell me that I didn't fit in, and that I didn't belong in my town. That didn't make me a happy camper. So I made it quite clear to them, that I did belong there. Why I belong here, is because I am the only person here, who hasn't been shunned who could hang out with both of the cliques without having problems. I am also the only person who is happy being who she is.
So to make the point of this easy to find, I'll just say it. Fitting in with a certain group of people is the worst thing to do. Be yourself. Be your own person, and stop trying to conform. Don't judge people, or put them into categories. And don't let anyone else judge you or put you into a category.
