Labels

People strive to find themselves, making it easier to know themselves.

But what people don't seem to realize is that labels are destructive. We're either outgoing, introvert, gay/bi/transgender, popular, happy, depressed, black, white, lonely, shallow, pretentious... The list goes on and on.

And when we create a label for ourselves, we seem to abide by the rules of self-fulling prophecies. The label we put on ourselves (or the label someone else puts on you), seems to be who we are.

But there are a hundred different things that you are. And no one, not even yourself, is capable of living happily according to all of them.

So stop worrying about all of your labels, and start identifying with the only label you have: yourself.
