At one point in my life I considered being asked why I am single to be one of the most annoying questions ever, second to the times I was asked why I didn’t wear pants when I was in Middle School.

Is Being Socially Accepted a Necessity?

In a fictitious world with unicorns and mermaids everyone is probably accepted regardless of what they look like and how they choose to live their lives -but, that is not reality. Our world consists of hatred, judgement, ridicule, and non-acceptance which is why I choose to promote love, understanding, celebration, and self-acceptance.
