Fitting In


As I grow, in terms of age, I become more and more aware about this translucent classification of the society. The groupings, barriers and factors that allow one to be automatically or even superficially subscribed into what used to be social class has now, expanded itself into social genre.


Does this world really need to be so systematic and specific in everything that the living needs to be classified according to finer clusters? You already have animals, plants, and human. Then you have Asians, Europeans, Middle-Easterns and so on... What OCD this world is in? Being utterly unreasonable in keeping everything spick and span. As if it is not enough that those groupings have detailed sub-categories, they need to fertilise and further grow the branches. The world seems to have an acquired taste for details. I don't see the necessity in it and think that it is rather discriminatory as I don't fit in any of those "social genre", perhaps there's one that would fit me perfectly well, "the social outcast".


I really don't fit in any of those social genre and have been living a life that stays as "the social outcast", never belonged nor belong to any of those groups and was never really accepted into a particular what-they-would-call "community". I'd say it's pretty disappointing to live like a nomad in this world, never belong to any of them. Oh frustration, frustration.... I miss out on 'feeling of belonging' and the support of a community.


I do feel left out whenever people cluster and form this clique within themselves like amoebas' conference with a thin wall built merely on 'superficiality' and 'reality'. The rules to be in the circle? Sign up and be a member with fitting requirements. So either you are really like that or just fake to be one. The deal? Your choice, you choose.


Self consolation: Being an Outcast and a Minority is Awesome! WE THE ODDBALLS ARE COOL! WE ARE WHO WE ARE. WE DON'T FIT OURSELVES INTO SOCIAL MOULDS.
