Plastic Barbie Dolls and Synthetic Butterflies

Just because I don't wear make up
Doesn't mean I don't know how
Just because I love sneakers
Doesn't mean I can't walk in heels
Just because I'm not into late-night outs
Doesn't mean I don't know how to have fun
Just because I prefer not to be too made up
Doesn't mean I don't fix myself
Just because I'm carefree and sometimes childish
Doesn't mean I'm immature.

I don't really understand why some people think that if you're not into make-up and other frilly stuff, you're immature. I have nothing against all the kakikayan and all the glamour, for heaven's sake, I collect fashion magazines!

I know I can be childish in a lot of ways. I still love going to the children section just to check out pink trinkets and Disney stuff. I won't deny the fact that I love backpacks. I know that I can be shallow in a whole lot of ways, I'm happy with simple things. I don't ask for much to make me smile. It's that easy.

But that doesn't make me immature. Sometimes I can be, and I won't deny that fact. But I do know when and how to stop such immaturity.

I hate it when people label you like they really know you. But the fact is: They do not even know a fraction of who you are besides your name and your age. It can get really annoying that they'll befriend you and act so sweet but are actually bashers, hitting you on your back.

I may not act too mature but I do know I'm somewhere in between. For God's sake, I only turned 17 this year! Maybe I can't do everything but what I do know is that I'm real. I am not plastic. When I hate you, I won't talk to you. That's that. But I do not hold grudges long, short silent treatments aren't lethal. But I do know when it is my fault and when it's not.

To that someone: You're much much older than me. And I respect you a lot. I just hope you do know how to act real.

If you don't like me, then I don't care.

You're not my loss anyway.
