As the infamous Dr. Seuss quote goes, "be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." In this day in age, and even years and years behind, people struggle with trying to fit into what is considered "normal" or "cool".
And sure, that sounds nice, getting to say that you're cool and not out of the ordinary. But if you break it down, it really is the worst thing you can do.
You spend your whole life trying to impress people who couldn't care less about you and along the way you make friends with people who you don't even like. It is all about your image.
What most people don't understand is that surrounding yourself with people who genuinely like you and care about you is WAY better than trying to fit into a crowd where everyone acts fake towards each other.
Genuine happiness is greater than any social status or number of followers on Instagram, and I think it's time we all make that known.
We should stop trying to change ourselves to please other people because, in the end, you only wind up hurting yourself, and you will have no one to fall back on.
