But, minutes before I am writing this post, someone just told me: "Why would you do that to your hair? People would think that you're cheap now."
Ok.
First of all, honey, if you want to directly tell me that I look cheap, then fire away. don't use other people as your excuse. At least have the pussy to say it straight to my face. I can take a beating. Second, I respect your opinion, but I pity you and the perspective that you're stuck in, that is if you're asking. Third, lol ok bye.
Funny enough, the same person that said that also judged me for putting my make-up on. I was a very tomboy kid and had the mindset that I will never ever put make-up on because whatever reason it was that I was so hell bent on that. I was also a very shy, unconfident kid that always hated how she looks in pictures. It is safe to say that I now hate myself so much less whenever I put my make-up on. And that is not a bad thing.
Look at it this way: We've got less than 100 years to live. In that 100 years, there are a lot you can achieve in this world, and that is all up to you. I, personally, would rather make the most of it. I want to travel the world because I enjoy it. I want to be able to stop by coffee shops all over the world and just enjoy myself. I want to change the world.
Though, out of all that, in this less than 100 years that I have to live, I want to be able to open my camera at a bad angle with a double chin and still be able to say: "Holy shit, I'm a stunner." I want to love myself.
What I don't want to do in that same less than 100 years to live is to live up to everyone's expectation. Truth be told. Why? Simply because--like what I've said in a previous post that I posted here--nobody else is as important as you are. People come and go, and if you try so hard to live up to their expectations instead of your own, then it's your loss, because what would you do when they leave? You'd still be stuck with what they want you to be instead of what you want to be and there goes some of the time of your life to enjoy.
Life is short. Do what you want to do. It's your body. Do what you want to do to it. Be comfortable in your own skin. Want a tattoo that would look hella good on you even though it doesn't really have any meanings? Get it. Want to wear that crop top even though you've got fat on your belly? I bet you'd still rock it. Piercings? No one's stopping you.
Don't let what other people think stop you, because frankly, as long as you're content with who you are, you can bring the whole galaxy down. If people can't see you past your appearance, then you know which peasants not to waste your time on. Love your own skin. It's what you're gonna be stuck with for the rest of your life.
My rant doesn't stop there, though. It is just beyond me how people can't see people past their appearance, like, do they stop and think whenever they walk past someone with tattoos on them and be like, 'they must be a criminal'? Do they straightly assume that people with piercings are junkies? Or someone who can't get their life together?
More importantly, the first thing that popped into my mind after I got judged by my hair color was that: Just because I stripped the color of my hair, does that mean I also stripped my worth as a human being?
For the love of God and everything that's holy, it's 2015, people, not 1805. Open your minds, not just your mouth. The world will be a better place if you could do that, thanks.
I'm simply writing this to remind myself not to be as small-minded and not to be as cringeworthy of a person as you are.
