Your true self!

Today I speak to you about something that doesn't worry or bother me but it makes me sad to know that we still live in a world where people judge each other by appearances. 

Since we were born the we are confronted with a society that always tends to educate ourselves in the same pattern: go to school, get a job (accepted by society), marry, have children.

But if we choose a different path? and instead of doctor I want to be tattoo artist? and instead of walking in high heels i preffer to use torn trousers and skirts of pink tulle? and instead of being heterosexual, my intimate tells me that like people from the same sex?
It is not my case but it could be. And what would happen in that situation?
Well, we all know: discrimination. (bad) stereotypical judgments of value and everything else that comes from closed minds who were rooting for hundreds of years.
We all have the right to make choices, to choose what they most identify with.
All we have (should have) the right to be different!
Escape the rule does not necessarily have to be bad.
I am different.
Sometimes I do not fit in this society, which is rotting the very stereotypes that all the same allowed to settle.
Be different, do not be afraid!

I am different and accepted by my friends and my family!
The rest does not matter!
You can be punk and have a heart of gold.
You can be a hard rock singer with air mad but your songs tell truths that no one else has the courage to verbalize.
Being able to be covered in tattoos and each one of them mean the love you have for someone or something.
You can be gay but at least you're happy, unlike many unfortunate people who roam the streets every day.
And you should be yourself! And in many ways you show the world the true essence of your being.
Your true self!

 Heart On My Sleeve - H2o

You see me on the street,
There is no need to explain,
I'm not what you think I am,
I'm just like you, but with tattoos!
Cuz I wear my heart on my sleeve,
My appearance may be deceiving,
It doesn't matter what you think,
Because the truth is in me!
This is the life I chose,
This is the only thing I know,
So don't pass judgement on me!
The places that I've been,
Forever written on my skin,
So don't pass judgement on me!
You see me walking down the street,
And you grab your kids and cross the other side,
Looking me like I'm a fucking criminal a degenerate lowlife,
You got me all wrong!
Cuz I wear my heart on my sleeve,
My appearance may be deceiving,
It doesn't matter what you think,
Because the truth is in me!
This is the life I chose,
This is the only thing I know,
So don't pass judgement on me!
The places that I've been,
Forever written on my skin,
So don't pass judgement on me!
You know you can't judge a book by it's cover,
You know you got me all wrong,
And I know my appearance may be deceiving,
But I feel...
I FEEL IT ALL,
SO DON'T PASS JUDGEMENT ON ME!
This is the life I chose,
This is the only thing I know,
So don't pass judgement on me!
The places that I've been,
Forever written on my skin,
So don't pass judgement on me!
It doesn't matter what you think,
Because the truth is in me! 

 

This video is just a complement to what I have been saying. I hope you enjoy and know that we can not all be the same! Being different does not necessarily have to be bad
