Be You


Today there so many labels that are placed on people

"Loser, popular, nerd, geek, trash, hoe" etc 

But in the end, does it really matter? 

Now, I know, some of you may think " Of course" 

But in my own personal opinion, I don't think it does. 

Everyone sees people differently 

It all depends on where you come from, how you were raised, what you heard etc 

For example, there may be a person everyone in the school labels as "Homeless" 

Because of the way they dress but in reality they may not be able to afford new clothes 

People are judged way too much on what they look on the outside. 

Before judging you have to get to know their personality and their background

No matter what anyone says to you shouldn't define your whole life

Some people are like that because it happened to them once

Everyone in this world is the own type of weird, cool, beautiful, handsome strong, geeky person

Once you find out what you are

Embrace it don't let any silly labels describe who you are as a person 

You show them who you are and if they don't like it then screw them 

Find people who accept you for you
