Haven't you ever wondered what it'd be like to spend a day in the life of someone else?
A boy in the life of a girl and vice versa? Everyone must have talked about how it would feel to suddenly be able to pee while standing up or to have a pair of breasts?
Well, last week I had a costume party so everyone had to dress up and like on every costume party you see cowboys, indians, hot nurses, etc.
I decided to use the opportunity to dress up like an entirely different subculture species:
the Emo.
What I didn't know when I made that decision, is what kind of consequences that would bare.
A friend of mine helped me get ready.. I had the slightly tight pants, the overall black outfit and the styled hair.. all I needed now was some finishing touches like eye make up and some black finger nails. I resembled a runaway band member => GREAT!
It had a not so desirable effect on people. Some people were just absolutely incapable of not staring at me. Although I was completely ecstatic about my outfit and look, I received some very nasty looks from some people.
Was that how it feels like to be part of a subculture like this?
I've been openly gay for about 3 or 4 years now. As we all know, a gay person is very often discriminated against, so I definitely know what it feels like when people can't stop judging you before even having talked to you. Still, that night I couldn't help but feeling even more disgusted with some people's narrow-mindedness.
Couple of days after the party I ran into one of those narrow-minded bastards. It even apologized for how he had behaved around me on the party, and admitted he was just freaked out by my looks that night. Auwch, that hurts. I looked quite good actually.. well no, what I'm trying to say is that it would be very difficult to be in the life of such a person, wouldn't it? Having to face people's reactions every single day...or am I overlooking something here?
Maybe it's actually their intention to create attention?
Whatever it may be:
One thing is for sure, I'm absolutely going to try not to judge people by their cover anymore. It's just stupid and superficial.
"Easier said than done", I hear you think?
True, but let's just try, right?
