Everyone is unique, but everyone is obsessed with putting themselves in boxes ... it is one thing to curate personal taste, and it's another thing to box yourself into one thing and to have to keep all of your interests inside the box! You aren't a box, you aren't even a shape at all. I enjoy everything and everyone because I am open to enjoying it. Or to not enjoying it. Then I have learned something new about myself. Aaand this is why I love PI.FYI!

š§æIt would be hypocritical from me to say i donāt follow trends, quite the opposite some of them can really be interesting and i āfollowā them but i have no desire to fit in.
Everyday i embrace my soul, my heart and my mind because it took me years to be the Me of today and as an individual itās totally normal to be unique in my own way.
I am unapologetically myself, no matter how much ātroubleā it gets me with people i donāt care. To be put in a box just to fit in or follow the ārulesā was never something that i tolerated nor could handle.
I value self reliance and resent depending on someone I am selective when it comes to socialising because i prefer being alone than having small talk I question everything to be convinced before i accept it or do it I am assertive, i express my needs, opinions and boundaries even if it means leading to a conflict with someone I dont care about social pressure, i believe anyone can achieve anything at any age I donāt care about approval I am always open to learn new stuff and never afraid to be seen as āuneducatedā during the process I donāt wanna copy. I am me, if i wanna read a kidāa book i will, if i wanna paint a tomato i will, if i wanna learn Russian i will, if i wanna wear a blazer with sweatpants because I think it looks good ON ME i WILL, me is ME and you is YOU. Etcā¦

šŖPeople are so different and diverse. And what is cultured and tapped in to one group is going to be irrelevant to another.
You'll be the most happy and free if you are able to resist all of those pressures toward grouplike and alignment. The pressures will be lifelong, though often with a different flavor than right now.
Although the safe thing is to get into that rudderless ship of alikeness with everyone else, the better thing is to love what you love, no apologies, with joy and passion. After a time, they'll come to you.

šThis constant pressure I feel to be on top of trends, to be a trendsetter, and overall just be different from the crowd is soooo exhausting. The idea that you can never do anything original because "everything has already been done" is such a pessimistic way to view yourself and to filter your creativity through. But that constant strive to create and be something or someone unique only makes you feel like shit. At the end of the day no one is going to do something like you do it, you live a completely unique life regardless of everything that's ever been done or made. Who cares if in the end it's all just a jumble of things you've collected in your time? That's what makes it you. You are already unique enough.
