Him: So, where are you from?
Me: I'm from Putten. (= Pretty extreme Christian town.)
Him: *smiles* And that goes well with your alternative personage?
Me: :D
It's strange and a little stupid, but I always feel so flattered when people call me "alternative". It makes me feel good when my countless efforts to deviate from the norm don't go unnoticed. Even more so that when people call me pretty. (Liars.) I've always been the odd one out and I'm proud of it. I don't understand how most girls want to fit in and be like everyone else.
Being "normal" is boring! How can you be seen when you look like everyone else?
So, I'll dye my hair the brightest color they have.
I'll buy a leather bag shaped like a guitar.
I'll wear clothes that are dated and out of style.
I'll put on the oddest shoes.
I'll continue to be a dreamer and talk to myself.
Because that's just who I am. A boyfriendless dork, an idiot, who can't stand streetorgans. A lover of icecream. A little girl with dreams to change the world and leave a mark.
I can't change.
So don't ask me to.
