Well.... hello dear unworthy piece of everyone else. Think you are different, special... well you are! Cause I don't just write to anyone, I am very, very selective. (well... not really). Now, tell me, where do you think other people get their ''personality clothing'' from. There is only one market for such things, everyone who doesn't appear to be you is a mini-market selling their own brand of b.s. This means everyone, from parents on down, or up, depending upon your perspective.
Once one reaches adulthood they have a pretty complete and complex wardrobe. The balance of their lives is spent taking care of that wardrobe and fiercely defending anyone who points out their fashion no-nos.
Realizing that you, and everyone else with very few exceptions, are caught up in this game. You sound like you are pretty aware of it and that is great. Now, forgive and let go of everything, including that drama queen you.
Write anytime,
Love ya, Jed.
