Fashion? Why is it so important to label yourself....

There's a massive thing on at the moment about people labelling them self as indie or what ever, you know like people identify some as chavs, sluts, geeks whatever. Now can someone tell me what style or person it makes someone if your dress indie, but then add a chavvy nike bag? act like an emo, but listen to dubstep? wear any old clothes from the charity shop, then an expensive baseball cap thing? I don't get it. I don't get why almost evey boy I see now-a-days feels the need to stretch their ear, smoke weed or wear their one of a kind pants half way down their arse. I'm not saying you cant be a mixture, wear what you want or when you want before you start arguing with me. BUT. It just seems like people feel it's a necessity to fit in/act like/dress like the rest of the crowd? It confuses the hell out of me. 
Personally, I do like most of it, it's tasteful. Maybe people are just bringing in new aspects to labels to get rid of them and allow people just to be free? I don't know.
Another thing I don't like is the concept of stretchers. I like the look of them, I have a few fake ones myself. But why would you want to make a massive hole in your ear? It's not attractive! When your old and your skins all saggy, you're going to be walking around with you ears flapping around in the wind not knowing what's going on!
  hmmm attractive right?

Also. Another thing I can't stand is people who obsess over fashion. Fair enough a love for clothes or a hobby blah blah blah. But when people are like " Why do people buy band tops when they don't even know who the band are" or " wearing vans doesn't make you indie" and " People shouldn't wear this and that it looks awful / why do people follow the crowd... but of course then they'll say, people should be allowed to wear what they want, fashion is freedom".
SHUT THE EFF UP.
You are not a fashion queen, if people want to wear something let them? We don't need your approval and to be quite frank we do not care. 
I would go into so much more detail but I'm tired and just realised most of this probably doesn't make sense. 
WOW. Rant over.

Everybody is good at something...

I've always wanted to be good at something, not saying that I've never been good at anything. But every time I feel as though I'm talented with something  someone else comes along and does it twice as good. Singing, dancing, drawing and even blogging. I feel as though I'm constantly being replaced with the next best thing.
Of course there will always be someone better than you, some one prettier, more brainy and more talented. But it would just be nice for once for me to have my own thing, that I'm good at, without feeling as though I'm in competition...
I've decided that today, even though I'm not the best at one thing, I can be good at little different things and stay hidden in the background. It's not about standing out and getting attention, it's about feeling good doing what you're doing. If you can't sing but love too, you don't stop singing you just don't do it in public...
There's one thing I know I'm good at though. I'm good at being me. I can identify my flaws and what's good about me. I know I'm a good person, or at least try to be and I know I will always have friends there for me when I need them.
I'm pretty sure this blog doesn't make sense. But it's because I don't quite know how to put into words what I to say. My mind is more jumbled up than these words. I'm a very difficult girl to understand and I know that. As I feel I'm a fairly open person.
I'm lucky to be who I am and surrounded by people who appreciate who I am.
You never start of being exceptional at something, you have to work your way towards it. I wish I could follow my own advice.
Thanks for reading my jumbled up non-sense.
