We're All Different

Today, I decided to watch the news for the first time in who knows how long. And want to know the first thing that I see? A headline about a celebrity that people are complaining are too heavy or fat. My first thought was ' grandma don't change the channel, I want to watch it,' my second thought was 'what does it matter if someone was too fat or thin', it should matter what they think or what they say, or do. Judging by appearance is something that is really stupid in my opinion. Why would you put someone in a catergory? So you can judge them? So that the people who don't fit into them would feel like they don't matter and don't fit in with the rest of the world? And then you make them feel sad?
Why do we put people through this? When people go to take standardized tests, they have to check one box-either black, white, asian, or others? But we are selling people short, with doing so. To me, it's like saying it's either this or that.
Life is not a black or white catergory. There's a whole gray area in our lives that we chose to ignore, the people who don't fit the mold, the people that make the mold.
Whether you're not solely one culture, or you're the only one that you know whose a size ten instead of zero, that doesn't make you ugly or wierd. It makes you different. Sometimes, being different can be difficult. But, it's a good thing. Society doesn't understand that people are not just the Barbie dolls, blond and thin and busty. There are people who aren't thin.
There are people who aren't blonde.
There are people who don't have boobs.
But, that doesn't matter. They are still beautiful. As Lady GaGa would say you were born this way baby!
