More Than Meets The Eye

We live in the same world living our own lives. To identify things, sometimes it is easier for us to brand things. This is also extended to people. To know our identity we join a group to better express who we are. Then we are classified, branded, stereotyped. Sometimes other people outside that faction see us as a representation of a certain class. Just like in highschool. There are the geeks, the jocks, the pop kids, the cheerleaders, the artists, the gothic, the writers, the bookworm, the conservatives, the indifferent, the nature lover and many more character types. Sometimes we are overpowered by the group’s character and the downside is we lose our individuality to the group.

I don’t want to be typecast to any particular group because I’m one and each of them in some ways or another.
