I am shapeless. I can't quite fit in anywhere. This has irrita | Inspire Me

I am shapeless. I can't quite fit in anywhere. This has irritated me throughout my life. I don't fit with the jocks, but neither the nerds. I don't fit in with the bookworms neither with the movie lovers. I have been always somewhere in between. I was crazy enough not to see the beauty that resides while not aligning perfectly with the molds. I always sculpted myself at the size of the molds, but I was always left inactive. It would get on my nerves and push me to pull out my hair and poke my eyes out. And I was left with the bare minimum amount of values in myself. My core values were swept away; so was my happiness. It is through moments piece by piece I learned that you can actually break the mold. You can say no to people who tell you to settle down and move on. To find true happiness we must be true to ourselves, live our own dreams, and be proud of what makes us unique instead of feeling the pressure to follow the crowd. There will always be someone more attractive, more intelligent and more interesting than you. But your energy should not be wasted upon this; comparing and evaluating yourself up to certain scales. Liquefy and live your life according to your standards and values, not the standards the world tells you to integrate. The mere thing about life is authenticity not fitting in.
