Passenger Seat

28 Sep

When the people you know act like dominoes, just let them fall and hit each other. News and opinions are passed on and it creates this whole chain of misunderstanding. Yeah, we all go along with the reaction, but I like being the stubborn one that doesn't fall. Does this make sense? I guess not. It was just an image I got in my head. We have a bit too many people who are those that just keep on falling; they go along with everything just because.

Dare to be different people.

So, today I was on the bus and I was wearing DocMartens and a flannel shirt. There was this filipina that kept on staring at me; she was one of those typical socialites that I truly despise. I'm so happy my family isn't the typical filipino family. We don't use ate or kuya or whatever terms there are used for respect. So, anyways, they girl kept staring and I gave her this 'what in the world are you looking at' look. Yeah, I get it, I look different, but I'm not some animal at the zoo. Sure, look a couple of times, but don't stare at me for a good minute or two. It's uncomfortable. I know I give off a strong front and combined with my DMs I probably looked like I was ready to kick someone's ass. Maybe it's because she thought I was a dude? I do have short hair. Whatever, I just don't like being started at for long periods of time by random people. It's because of my whole problem with attention. It's awkward.
