Awkward potato

meanwhilepoetry:

“Life is way too short to be caring about people who limit you, and all of the world is about holding onto ways to limit you, to harness you in, like you are a horse made for the breaking. So you know what you should do? Be difficult. Don’t let it tame you. Dress in whatever zany thing you want. Eat that extra bag of crisps. Go to the movies dressed as a fairy or a vampire or whatever you want. Society made you care way too much about how you look to other people without ever asking, well, how do you want to look to yourself. If the world keeps telling you who to be, turn around and show it who you are. And if people aren’t able to handle you being you and make fun of you, then that’s a reflection on how insecure they are to unapologetically be themselves. Not a reflection on the wonder, the fullness that is you. So be difficult, my dear. Be dangerous. And don’t let the anyone tame you.”
