in this world, everyone is so focused on what others think of them, so they forget to live their own life for themselves. instead of doing your own thing or doing what YOU truly want, you end up following the crowd as you’re too afraid of being judged. it makes you think. was the world always like this? was the world always judging people based on their water bottle brand and their eyelashes? was there a time when we saw ourselves in each other, humans as a whole, instead of discriminating? because deep down, aren’t we all the same? don’t we all go through love and hurt? don’t we all go through our own phases? why do we have a certain image or style we have to follow to be liked? since when did fashion, which was originally meant to showcase our individuality, become slick-back ponytails, pink palm puff hoodies, black leggings, nike socks, and birkenstocks? wasn’t there a time when we all dressed differently? why do we desperately want to change our ethnicity or nationality online? aside from cultural differences, what really separates ethnicity? we’re all human at the end of the day. we should learn to embrace our own styles. we should learn to embrace our own body hair, as why would we even have it if we were meant to wax or shave it off? we should embrace our personality. experiment. there’s only so long that we live, so why don’t we make the most of it? at least, i won’t judge you for it. — written by irene. — no AI has been used in the entirety of this.
