Exhausted!

The world is flooded with uniqueness. In its entirety, everything that makes it up has its own way of making the world colorful. Brilliant minds come together to create cars, clothing, shoes, and so much more. Every person is unique, not a single person is 100% alike someone else.
In such a colorful world, it seems like society is trying to make it more black and white. The unique simplicity found on the inside and the outside of a human is turning more into a general simplicity. More teenagers are starving themselves, cutting themselves, and even committing suicide because their uniqueness was rejected by society. It has created the idea that you either fit in, or get out! Only few people are willing to defy what people think wholeheartedly and just do their own thing. Some people are born that way, others won't do anything except try to fit in, some will only try to stand out, and others will actually succeed.
This blog was inspired by myself and the realization of how exhausting it is to care about what people think all the dang time!This got me thinking about how often I actually do it, and to be honest, I am utterly disgusted with myself.
Often times I have lied to myself and said that I don't care, but then I catch myself caring! It has become a major habit that I didn't realize I had until recently. The first step to fixing a problem is realizing you have one, right? 
So many times I have wanted to wear certain shoes or certain clothes and I don't because of what might go through people's minds. How ridiculous is that? And I know I'm not alone. It would be nice to just not have to worry about that because it's something that sticks in the back of my mind and I haven't noticed it because it has been there since I was old enough to know what it's like to be rejected by my peers when I choose to be myself. 
I suppose the point of my rant is that I am going to start setting in a different mentality, if I can convince myself to care what people think, it should be just as easy to brush it off my shoulders. I'm going to do what I want. Think about me, or don't, either way, it isn't going to change me at all.
