Be You.

Ditch The Label


Don't let the image of Chris Crocker mislead you. Surprisingly wiser than most seem to think.

The video says most of what I have to say. People are obsessed. They love this celebrity, they want to be that celebrity. I understand waiting for some new movie or CD to come out, but letting it run your life is not cool. Wanting to be someone that's not you is even worse. Stop trying to be Britney Spears. Stop trying to be Zac Efron. Neither of them are as amazing as the person you can be. I'm not saying you have to write music instead of listening to it, but don't obssess over it. Obsession is an unhealthy thing.
There are so many more important things in life. Family. Friends, Just... there's so much more to life than trying to be someone you're not, and obsessing over someone you want to be.

Which leads me into my next point.

Labels.

I am going to say this, and I know I am possibly going to get shit for it. There is no such thing as a "label." No one is "emo," no one is "punk," no one is "gangsta." Everyone is just them. The way they act does not define them as a person. Except, of course, for the girlies dressed all in pink and hyped up on Starbucks that so desperately want to be the next Miley Cyrus. Why can't people just enjoy themselves as people? Why do they have to try to be something you're not? Your life is just as interesting - if not more - than these celebrities that are making a billion dollars for each Disney-editted and propagated song they release to radio stations to overplay. Just be yourself. You're so much more of an actual person than them.
Ditch the label.
Be you.
