You’re you.

A lot of people spend their entire lives trying to mimic a version of themselves they have in their minds, sometimes multiple tailored to fit each person they’re acquainted with. That defeats the purpose of being you.

You can like the colour grey or blue or purple, not because it’s classy or trendy or makes you look cool, but because you reach out for a product in that specific colour. I have been that person too, I used to go around telling people I like black, trying to be cool and “different”. Don’t get me wrong, black can be your favourite colour, but it wasn’t for me. I do mostly wear black, but I love green with my whole heart.

You can like salads or pizzas. You can like something common and way too popular or something rare. You don’t have to force yourself to be niche all the time. It’s okay if you like k-pop or if you don’t, as long as you don’t go around hating on someone or something, it’s all okay.

A popular song is popular for a reason. So next time someone goes “That’s common, you aren’t a fan,” every time you like an artists most popular song, don’t belittle your tastes. You can only know three songs and still call yourself a fan.

“So next time, just pick what you are, not what you force yourself to be.”
