An outcast or a pretender?

As you travel through time and ages, you might notice one message, a single sentence, standing out with pride. Be yourself.

"Be yourself" is something so common, that you could have even heard an eight year old uttering it. On basis, being yourself literally means stick to whoever you are, regardless of rejections, failures and upsets you might face. Well said, indeed. Teenagers, like me, will go through a period of time where maturity erupts in yourself. You begin to ask yourself, "Who am I? What do I want to do?" At hapless times like these, "being yourself" should guide everyone to their own paths. The question is however, how many people are still being themselves out there?

And now towards out title, an outcast or a pretender? School, friends, teachers, parents, exams, pressure? Sounds familiar? If you stick to who you are, you are bound to be a social outcast. If you follow trends and lets your peers choose who you are going to be you are already a pretender. So, which one is better? God damn it, idiots! Of course you should be yourself!

Don't be afraid to reject opinions or disagree. Let out your emotions. Just because most people say so, doesn't mean you should agree blindly. That only makes you a god damn pretender! I am not afraid to reject my friends opinions, at times I stick to my principles so hard that I get rejected so easily. For me, an outcast was never an outcast. They are just people who don't follow and burden themselves with what the society expects them to be. They like being themselves. That's how everyone who's reading the blog should do. Fight for your opinions and NEVER ever be a pretender.
