Labels

As a teenager I felt the need to fit in but not to be common amongst my peers, so as a result I desperately search a group in which an outcast could be treated as a fellow but for that I Foolishly thought labels would make me 'in' with the people I wanted, holding as tight as possible to friends,some people misread my true intentions and my personality as someone that was fake instead of seeing that I was someone I really wasn't comfortable being, no I did not change who I was or what I liked but pretended to be deeply into something like music or style, most never knew my passions nor ambitions in life, to be honest the things I said to like were my favorite but I also liked other music and other things, it was easier to say everything is of my liking because I seem to be fascinated in so many subjects, to make it worse I became a shadow by making jokes all the time and thanks to that another label arise the there's nothing profound about her, shes just a 'jokester', no serious or intellectual conversations can come from even spending time with her, I had so many labels at that time, my friends they saw who I really was underneath the fake label and saw alba plain and simple no complications. As time passed I realized there was a better liking for me just for being me and  decided to changed, just to see how some people made horrible comments about me, instead of just saying : "hey you are not this or that". In that moment it would had hurt me but I would have appreciated the observation since my real friends knew what was going on in my life, I like direct people and yes I was misguided and for that I made some really bad friends, people who would take advantage of me and do horrible things to my persona to later turn the tables around and made me the bad guy, many believed so still to this very day but no im no victim I chose what I wanted and got what I asked for, I was warned many times about these matters but ignored them, the good thing is I found my right path and learned from those mistakes to become who I really wanted to be...I took off all my labels.
