I believe that you shouldn’t let other people direct the way you live. I don’t think you should wear certain clothes just because somebody said so. Just be yourself and don't try to be someone else.
I personally know some people who try to be cool, but end up acting like complete idiots. They would be better off being themselves. Life is too short to be worrying about what others think of you. It is no fun when people discriminate you on how you look or how you do things. I could really care less about what people think of me.
You know exactly who you are as a person and those around you can see it as well. This helps eliminate the people in your life that do not complement the person you want to be come and attract those who do.
It doesn't matter if some people think you're crazy when you first begin putting your soul on display. As long as you are happy because you are doing what you love, everything else will soon fall into place.
