I always think of the words from Millencolin's song No Cigar.
Cause I don't care where I belong no more
What we share or not I will ignore
And I won't waste my time fitting in
'Cause I don't think contrast is a sin
I just did a career day at my sons middle school a few weeks ago. It's still just as cringe and awkward as when I was there myself. haha!
In high school I hung out with all the punks and skaters. A lot of them would wear the studded jackets with patches and stuff. I didn't usually dress the part but I love punk music and I love the skate culture so I felt like I fit in there. We didn't care what anyone else thought or said to us. Social media and cell phones also weren't really a thing. Bullying is different now because of that and it's a real problem in many places. I'm sorry you had to take your daughter out of that school. I hope she knows there are people like her, who like the same kinds of music or the same kinds of clothes and that she's not a freak or a weirdo. School can be tough. Even as an adult people make jokes sometimes about the music I listen too, but you know what? I still don't care! lol
This was an issue in the military too. The smokers would take their smoking breaks. So I started taking non-smoker breaks. lol
Maybe it's because I used the watermarked version I found on Google instead of paying for it. Sorry for disrespecting you Adobe!
They're the worst. Now they're actually putting features into vehicles but don't activate them unless you pay more. You already own the car with the feature existing inside of it but can't use it. What kind of bullshit is that!
