Labels.
What do they mean?
You have to be this,
And you can only do this.
But what if that's not me?
What if I only skim the description?
Does that mean I'm automatically a die hard part of that group and nothing else?
What if I'm in between?
Does that mean I have to decide?
One or the other, you can't choose both.
What if I only feel it partially?
Does that mean I'm just imagining the whole situation?
I don't "relate" to it enough.
Why do I need to be a part of a group?
Why do I need a label to feel comfortable with who I am?
Even when I don't feel comfortable under that label.
Why cant I just feel the way I do?
Why cant I just be me?
