Be yourself and stop judging people. STAHP.

So I got the idea for this post after reading this post, written by one of my super fabulous besties Amanda. Go read that post. Then come back.

Did you read it?

If you're too lazy to go over there and read the damn post, Let me give you the gist of what it's about. Basically, it's describing something Amanda, Audrey, and I experienced the other day, usually known as judgement. She goes off about how a certain group of adults gave us one look in a public area, and they immediately began to move away from us and whisper and stare, due to the way we (well, mostly I...) dressed and wore our hair and carried ourselves. Then, as there was a large grand piano in the area where we were, and I decided to play the most complicated classical piano piece I've ever learned; a piece that only professionals usually learn, let alone a blue haired, combat boot wearing, dirty-mouthed teenage girl. I played Arabesque no. 1, by Claude Debussy, who is my favorite classical composer.

Those judgmental motherfuckers got set straight in a jiffy.

Wanna look at me and assume I'm gonna amount to nothing in life? Suit yourself. Bitch, I'm gonna be a tattoo artist/musician, and I'll make shit tons of money, and unlike 90% of americans, I will be happy.

I'm basically just saying all this jazz because for my entire life, I've been judged for being myself. Most of my friends get judged for being themselves. I think it's bullshit that we tell children to always be who they are, because as soon as 'who they are' becomes something even mildly outside the social norm, we barate them with hatred and judgement, and we tell them to change themselves. Oh, you want to be an Astronaut! That's amazing! You want to be a doctor? Shoot for the stars! You want to be in a rock band, maybe pierce your ear a few times? WHAT IN THE GOOD NAME OF THE MERCIFUL LORD'S PANTYHOSE HAS POSSESSED YOU IN SUCH A HORRENDOUS MANNOR TO FORCE YOU TO WANT TO ENGAGE IN SUCH LOW-LIFE ACTIVITIES SUCH AS BEING YOURSELF?! YOU ARE NO LONGER MY CHILD! GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!!!!

And for all you people who are offended by this post because you "have a reason to judge", or something like that, I have a little bundle of words for you:

If you are racist, sexist, homophobic, uneducated, insensitive, or just an asshole who thinks everyone should conform to society, either get your priorities straightened out, or go fuck yourself.
