There Are Only a Few Things I *Must* Do!

[Unit1]

I am seriously fed up with traditional gender roles, it's expectations, qualifications of a real man / real woman and decided to leave a piece of my mind for the net.

Thanks for a lot of alone time I could accelerate my thoughts and process my own position where I stand in such regards.

Because much has changed in the past years slowly but steady, things aren't applicable as they are today anymore. As things change dynamically other things relatively to it will too! However I remained pretty much the same over the lengthy time.

First point is

I don't care

and I have my rights. Why do they? I am not obligated to obey and follow the mainstream and do what everyone else is doing because that's what the others do. Additionally it has become something of such a norm, that it is considered weird by the others if you don't follow. This can be noticed if you hear:

You must be ripped, rich, CEO of a company, getting laid everyday, suppress your emotions, drink etc...

You must be pretty, skinny, wear makeup, party, refrain from sex, drink etc...

You must create a family and raise your children.

You must this.

You must that.

You must...

Sure, sure. I have all this noted. Is there perhaps anything else my dear friend?

I asked a few times why should I be or must do these. The response was because it's what I must do. How do they claim they know what I must do and better why I should do it?

With that being said, I am going after my own interests. I'm no sheep in the crowd. I do what I have to do and do not what am being told to do unless I ask for it.

To name a few things, that I actually have to do:

Finish my degree, get a job, make use of free time efficiently, eat and drink (not alcohol!), sleep, study, and enjoy life as of how it factually is.

That's it. I have nothing else to do. If I will have something to do then I will but until then, this is what should be done from my side. These are my main goals.

They can toss tons of critics, insults and badmouth at me and I won't flinch. Then they will claim, that I can't handle these and that I am a pussy whipped loser. I believe the system is rigged and I feel, that I am one of those few, who can see through the fogs of delusions.

That would explain the fact, that I prefer being a loner on my own.

I'm not selling myself to that because that's how I live my life with honor. It's either me or them. Nothing in between. I didn't exactly wanted to become this but here I am... almost by choice. So what?
