Hey Look! A Can of Soup!

Do you know what pisses me off? (Well you probably know a lot about what pisses me off if you actually read this blog.) Labels. They piss me off to no end. They piss me off to the end of no end. But sadly, I follow along with them. I am guilty of calling someone a nerd, or a jock, or whatever else you can think of. But only because it is ingrained in our minds. It's like we're made to label things. Like different flavors of soup on the store shelves of life...
Not only are there the stereotypes of high school labels. But there are the ones people give themselves. "I'm a stay-at-home mom." "I'm straight edge." "I'm the handy-man of the house." "I'm bisexual." "I'm such a middle child." It just irks me to no end! These labels above may be true for some people. But do you have to label yourself as that? The stay-at-home mom could simply just refer to herself as a mom, and nothing more. Who cares that she stays at home!?! Only she needs to know that. I read something the other day about "LGBTQ's" calling themselves "Label Free." And that for some reason or another, made my day. I myself am straight, but I think even straight people can call themselves label free. Who needs a label?!? It gets ridiculous in our culture sometimes.
Okay. I'm done ranting about labels... For now. Hope you enjoyed that or learned something from it. Or most possibly were amused by it. Have a fantabulous day!
Much Love,
