This evening somebody said something interesting to me. " Im a greebo, i like most of the other different types of people though." she was a really lovely girl, really cheery. really nice. But different TYPES of people?
I have always been brought up to think "peoples people" essentially were all human, its not like dogs where you then get seperate breeds of dogs. we arent a mixture of mongrels, great dames, and terriers. All of us are the same . Dalmations maybe? The same beautiful dog, but each with the unique characteristics on their coat. I dont know, what dog would represent humanity?
I understand that people like having little subcultures such as greebo, goth, emo, hipster , whatever. but they change so regularly, and so fluidly. its nice to be part of a community of people with similar interests but when your young interests change so often. your 'group' shouldnt define you and who your friends are.
At the end of the day we all love, we all laugh, we all cry, we make friends. but we are all different. were each so different to our parents, our siblings, even our best friends. we are all so unique. and sometimes to bond yourself to a group or a person so strongly is isolating, and restricts you from finding you true self and others from finding theirs.
We all need the courage to stand on our own. And to not let whats ''cool'' define us but instead what we love.
