Sides??

Why do people have to take sides? Why do we have to be one thing or another? Mates with her or her, a goth or a punk, townie or a geek, this or that? Why can't we just be a bit of everything? Mates with her and her, a punk with a goth side. I guess it's just because people are afraid of being unsure of what you are, they have to label you. Well all I can say is, tough I'm going to be mates with her and her and I am going to be an individual (punk, goth, emo, everything). I guess we just have to be ourselves, and be strong. But always remember people often reject the unfimiliar or different, so I will remember to take into account other peoples feelings and beleives.
That actauuly brings me onto another point, religion. Ok, so I'm not christsian but that does not on any level mean that I am evil. Neither does the fact that I am interested and cosidering Wicca and its ajoining divination (my choice atm is tarrot cards). Is this again people rejecting the unfamilar? My mother claims to be open minded yet she has told me that I'm evil and going to hell before now, and that she 'knows I'll find god.' What if I don't want to find her god, what if I want to find god in the form of The Lord and Lady (God and Goddess). I don't try to stop her following her religion, I would never stop anyone following there beleifs, I would if prompted give my opinion, but we are all entitled to express our opinion, it is a free contry. Though it seems certain issues are still taboo. So this would mean that we don't have freedom of speach to the extend some would proudly claim. Well whatever is going on, I say always be yourself, and be respective of others. Peace uall
