You can stand in a room full of thirty people without saying a word and people would immediately make an assumption on you. In fact, you could even be standing in a room with one other person without saying a word and they would immediately make an assumption on you. It takes the brain approximately seven seconds to create a first impression on someone. Can we change that?
You can be in an active conversation with someone that you've only known for half an hour and within that time they could already have taken an immediate dislike to you. Can we change that?
You can know a group of thirty people for two years and only two people could like or dislike you. Can we change that?
Of course, the answers to these three statements is no. We cannot do anything to change peoples opinions about us whether they've known us for seven seconds or seven years.
A lot of people are afraid to be who they are in fear of judgement from people surrounding them but the truth is we all get judged by everyone at some point whether it be good or bad. So why should we be afraid of being yourself because of something that is inevitable?
Being born into this world is a gift and to spend most of it being afraid to be who you are is pointless. If being you isn't hurting anybody why should you be afraid of what some else thinks?

A lot of people are made to apologize for who they are and it isn't right. Apologize for hurting someone, apologize for a mistake you made or apologize for not handing in a piece of homework. Never apologize for who you are. Never. Being who you are is real and in a world full of fakes being real is essential.
One of the things I fail to understand is why people are quick to discriminate people for things that they cannot change such as gender, sexuality or race.We all have a gender, we all have a race and we all have a sexuality. Just because their skin colour may be different to yours or they prefer men over women that doesn't mean that you have any right to judge. People are aloud to prefer people who are the same sex as they are just as straight people are aloud to prefer people of the opposite sex. What difference does it make to their life anyway? Absolutely none.
Love who you want, be what you want, do what you want and live how you want to because before we all know it we won't be young anymore. Do you really want to look back at your life full of regret just because you were afraid of what people may think?
The world is your oyster. Shape it how you want.
