There's something unsettling about pretending and hiding one true self, and it's not my kind of thing. A lot of people I just strive and try to just sit into what the society expects of them, it's not always easy for them, they just feel the need to, and there's one thing about humans... You can't satisfy them. And no matter what you do, you will definitely see someone that will talk, speak bad about you or just see something wrong in everything.
And the world we live in today, especially my own part of the world, it is where you will get labeled from every single thing, no matter how little. They most time judge one especially from appearance. Yes, even though there are other things they look at, they are most times always focused on the way you appear. And most of the time, this people that we judge based on their appearance always have a very good heart.
But because most don't want to be judged and seen differently, they try to just fit into what the society expects of them. That's how you see people hiding their emotions, pains, beliefs, passions, and all what they are all because they want to avoid being mocked, judged or seen differently. And in all honesty, it often has its toll on them in the long run, because what they are trying to act like isn't the real them.
Recently, I plaited my hair, this isn't my first time of doing it though, but this will be the first time I will be plaiting it here where I'm serving. I'm sharing this because when I plaited it, some began to murmur and look at me differently. I can't help but wonder if the hair I plaited had changed my character, behavior or the good guy that I am.
I felt somehow about it at first, cause I don't understand why they will start looking at me differently, but I understand though... I overlooked it all when the grandma i often visit here called me and said she noticed how people were looking at me. And in all honesty I love what she said... She said that she as a person did not like that I plaited my hair, but that she knew I'm a good child, she knew my attitude and behaviors and know what I can do. And that the fact that I plaited my hair does not mean I'm a bad child or irresponsible someone.
Those were her words and it makes me happy, because beyond appearance she understood me.
Not everyone whose appearance looks different from what you love is irresponsible. In short, we all should stop judging people and learn to know and understand people first. I understand that certain appearances are questionable though. But then, let's value character, behavior, and attitudes more than appearance
