It's Okay Not to Fit In The Box

From birth, we are categorized based on our biology and physical appearances. After that, we are categorized by personality, demographic, socioeconomic status, medical condition, appearance, or based on our association with someone. Without realizing it, we have industrialized our identity. We are taught that anything different is weird, but what they don't want you to know is that being different isn't a bad thing.

A lot of the time, being different is often associated with being weird because it does not match what society has taught them. Creativity is often silenced to fit the industrialized structure, so when it is expressed, people are confused or hard to understand, and people laugh and make you feel horrible for being you. In these categories, we often change others for not being the ideal or stereotype person in a certain category, which only divides us more.

Social media, which was once a great way to catch up with others, is now used to pin us against one another, along with several insecurities. In truth, no matter what you do, someone will change you. Must as well be judged for being you than trying to belong in a world that makes you suffocate.
