Definitions
Sep. 2nd, 2007 12:01 pmWhy does society need definitions?
Why do I need to constantly define myself in the eyes of others. To define myself so as to tell the world 'This is me, this is how I am. I fit neatly into this category and you can reflect all your pre-assumptions on me,'
I'm just tired of that.
I could easily define myself and say that I'm a bit bohemian, bit this and that, artistic, queer. But somehow all of those carry so much with them. *sigh* Why can't I just say that I'm just me ? It would be so easy. I've already suffered too many headaches and heartaches because of definitions, crying and not sleeping. It's a vicious circle I'm afraid of falling back onto.
Damn it. I'd just like to be me and be happy, definitions be damned.
