"Everything ends up okay in the end. If its not okay, its not the end"
This section is going to tell you more about who I am in real life than most of my previous about me sections. Most of the time I concentrate on one aspect of myself and elaborate on it because I think, at the time of writing, that it is the most influential aspect of my personality. Before this, it was about the misconception that I am a cocky individual. To summarize, it was an explanation of the fact that one can be comfortable with oneself and ones' appearance without thinking thinking that it makes him/her better than others. This section however, although is about appearance, is a step in a different direction.
Recently, now graduated from college, I suppose it is only natural to expect to be associating with those of a higher education level. What I should have expected was that my image (which I have taken great pride in) is conflicting with the social realm in which I find myself. Although I love my hair, and I love my gauges, and I will ALWAYS love my tattoos, I am running head on into the social force most commonly known as Conformity.
At this point it is up to me to decipher what the pros and cons of Conforming are. Yes, if I keep my style I could go on saying that everyone should accept me for me and that my image shouldn't have an impact on people's perception of who I am. No, I couldnt get any upper-level positions in just about any company or corporation. Yes, I could go on satisfied with the attention of everyone or No, I probably won't meet someone who exceeds my expectations for a serious life partner. Alas, I come to the conclusion that Conformity does not mean that I need to change my personality. In fact, I am finally coming to the point of my seemingly endless ramble.
I am not saying that I'm going to dye my hair brown and start wearing Abercrombie. But, as time goes on I find that I have to convince more and more people that I am a generally 'boring' person.
It is very rare that I get drunk. It is very rare that I even have more than three drinks over an entire evening. It is very rare that I get what most would consider 'roudy' or as like to call it, roisterous :).
It is unlikely that I will talk much unless I have something intelligent to say. It is unlikely that I will do much of anything without thinking of the consequences of my actions first and it is unlikely that I will spend much of my time in places where stupid people are known to congregate.
It IS likely that I will budget my time to have it spent with the people who mean the most to me. It IS likey that I will be in school for the rest of my life because I believe that life is boring once you stop learning. It IS likely that I will alter my appearance so that it fits my maturity level which unfortunatley is looking less and less like pink every day.
These are my tales of facing maturity and responsibility, Friends. I suppose that most run into these same issues as time progresses but it is a shock, even to me, that I am running into it so soon. I think I will tribute this new About Me section to SLC Punk, call it a night and try to prepare myself for the day I forfeit my image to Conformity.
