How to be a Misfit

How to be a Misfit

mis·fit

noun \ˈmis-ˌfit also ˌmis-ˈfit\

: a person who is different from other people and who does not seem to belong in a particular group or situation

Here is a failsafe way to be truly YOU for a change

 

Refuse to be a pawn in society's game

 

Get rid of the labels, the fake tan, the fake eyelashes

 

Throw away all the clothes you bought because they were “in”

 

Delete all the music you listened to because it was “cool”

 

Shelf all the books you read because everyone else was reading it

 

and..

 

Find clothes you like

 

Listen to music you enjoy

 

Wear the makeup you like

 

Read books that make you happy

 

Don't be silenced

 

Brush off criticism

 

Relish in the stares

Be forever you
