i like you if youre like this
typically i am not a lj whore but i have come to a huge realization, well i knew it all along, but maybe unconsciously, even as much as i preached it.
now i can put it in application with my life, and i mean like everything in my life.
o.k. so i hate people that try to fit in. i hate cliches. i hate stereotyping. i hate people changing for others. i hate people trying to impress me.
but what i do love is someone so sure of themselves. respect is the biggest issue in my life. i respect people who KNOW who they are and ' stick to their guns'. someone who is so sure of themselves, and so aware of who they are and what they believe in, and really know why they believe in something and can support themselves... they are the people i like. i think about like the only guys ive ever loved in my life... and like my best friends.. and why i like them so much.. like as different as they all are... but its becasue they were themselves and as much as I or other people tried to change that, they stuck to who they were. never changing for others, never trying to fit in. to me being cool is an insult, that means people will adapt their lifestyles and try to imitate my individuality. no one is like me and im not like anyone else. i dont want to be anyone else and ill never claim to be anyone other than shannah. i hate trends, its just something cool for everyone to warp into. it vomits on everything i hold as true. ive dated guys that just because people think im 'punk rock' they decide to get some tight black jeans and tight t-shirts, well it annoys the fuck out of me. and its because they changed for me, forgot who they are to impress. EW, fucking hell. i hate that. same with friends, girls imitate my style and get a Germs patch to make a friend out of me, doesnt work that way. unless you were like that to begin with, and i mean before you knew who i was, (because i have LOTS of punk friends )then youre a moron. i have friends who are complete opposites of me, it doesnt matter what youre into, as long as you are you. if i see you change for others or for some dumb idea then you lose my respect. stay you.
i appreciate you if i argue with you and you still wanna kick my ass becasue we disagree, because you believe in something that much. i need values and i love opinionated people. people who stand for something, and arent a huge waste of mind and body. people who usually are a whole lot like me piss me off too, cause they end up, at least relationship wise, trying to impress me with bands they know, so maybe thats why i dig people different than me. music is the most important thing in my life, fuck materialism, its something way more complex for alot of people to understand. and i hope that made everyone laugh. cause it would have made me. but i like it when someone can say this is what i dig and fuck what you think. it should be fuck what you think. it should be this is who i am and fuck you if you dont like it.
because changing for others is lying to yourself. and that makes my fucking stomache turn.
so nah, if you want some points, dont try to impress me.. i mean argue with me, stand up for yourself, dont let people walk all over you, be respectful but not timid and by all means DONT BE INSECURE. insecure people piss me off, because they don't know who they are. experience is supposed to form you man. let it work like that. insecurity shows a weak mind, it really does, because what do they know? what do you stand for? AND if you dont like my friends dont put on a smile, let me know you hate them. be true, be true to everything, and be true to yourself. dont like something cause its cool or cause its in. dont be friends with someone cause theyre cool or because popularity counts. that shit is lame. do something for yourself, because you want to for you.
holy shit, this could be the turning point in my life.
this describes why ive ever fallen in love, broke up with people, found friends, hated people.
this is who i am.
im real true to my own person, so yea i am super opinionated, i say what i think and don't care.
i need to be me and its so important, so i want people to be them. i realize the importance in being yourself, because conformity is such a simple minded principle.
so this explains why i hate authority, why i cant keep a job, and so much more.
damnit, this is cool to know now.
now i can put it in application with my life, and i mean like everything in my life.
