I'm that kind of person that'll always encourage someone to be themselves. Never waste your time changing who you are to impress others. Now, if you don't like the kind of person that you are and if you want to change to better yourself, that is probably the only reason in the world why you should ever change. But once you start thinking "Oh, a lot of people do the things I do. I should change to be different." or if you find yourself saying something like "This is something someone my age shouldn't be doing." then you're losing sight of yourself. Who cares if you have something in common with a majority of the world? Its part of you, its what you like to do. Why stop yourself from doing something that makes you happy and comfortable? I hear a lot of that with music and movies and fashion. I actually had a gaia friend tell me awhile back that he "grew out" of the music he once loved. Like, no. You don't grow out of something like that. You grow out of old clothes and old eating habits and the way you think. When you say you grew out of music or fashion or an activity, its because someone or something has made you think that you should think or feel less of yourself because of that. Don't let anything or anyone take away something you're enthusiastic about. Think for yourself. Its your life. You choose what you want to do with it. And if you're going to choose to let other people run your life, then go right ahead. But would you rather be yourself and happy or exhausted trying to be something you're not?
Sincerely,
