Be Yourself, No One Else

You are unique for a reason; Don’t let anyone stand in your way.

Be Yourself, No One Else

There is so much pressure in society to change who you are. Or what you look like. It's 2019...STOP IT! No one should change their self for anyone. You are perfect the way you are. No amount of makeup or diets will change that.

I don't have the “perfect" body. My thighs are big. My stomach isn't flat. There shouldn't be a problem with that. There's no such thing as the “perfect" body. Everybody's body is different. We should all stop pressuring people to change how they look. It's stupid. No one should have to feel insecure because they don't look like the picture perfect models that we see in magazines.

We shouldn't have to change our personalities either. I can be who I want to be. I shouldn't have to change my thoughts or beliefs just to conform to society. Everyone has their own opinions. Suck it up, people. Just because someone doesn't believe in a certain law as you do doesn't mean they're a horrible person.

Being yourself doesn't mean you're selfish. It means that you like who you are and you don't want to change. We need more uniqueness. There is no such things normal. Personally being called “normal" is an insult to me. I hate that word. I'm a goofy person. I'm weird. But I get looked at differently because I don't act “normal." Well, get over it. Because at the end of the day I'm gonna be who I wanna be. There's no changing it.

My body is not to please you. My mind is not to please you. I don't need to change myself in any way to be beautiful. No one does. We are all beautiful in every way.

Stop judging people. It's pointless. Let me be me.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
