The Rant

So there you are. Doing it right. Pleasing all. Making them proud. But here’s the thing: don’t. You don’t owe pride to anyone. Not to your lovers, neither to your siblings, not to your parents. You’re stardust. You exist in the Universe as a part of its evolution. You are who you are because it makes the Universe evolve. Not so your mother can brag about you.

Play the one role nature has given you. Be your true self. You dark lips and black nails are a part of the evolution. Don’t trade them for your peers’ approval.

Don’t trade your being for anyone’s approval. Don’t do it. For the sake of Science.
