Why fit in when you were born to stand out?

-Dr Seuss

***

Dear Dr. Seuss,

We fit in because we are scared.

We fit in because we are scared that who we truly are isn't cool.

Or that it isn't good enough.

We fit in because the world is a judgemental and cruel place.

Where one wrong move could make you sleep and fall and have you stuck in a hole trying to get out.

This fight on society's hierarchy is killing us one by one.

Killing our fight to be individual.

Creating mindless robots.

Creating a flock of 7 billion sheep.

We fit in because we have to.

We fit in because it is the survival of the fittest.

We fit in to survive.
