So I just turned 21. And I guess lately I've been having a identity crisis of sorts.
You see, I'm a nerd. I'm obsessed with Marvel movies, Star Wars, and reading in general. Also, I'm a big fan of fantasy. Oh, and the BBC show Merlin. Seriously, don't talk to me about it ending.

And I have a tendecy to act and dress like a 16 year old boy/scene kid. Band/superhero tees, jeans that are kind of baggy (mainly because I have no ass to speak of), and converse.

And sure, I do get dressy. I wear skirts, and cute boots and flats and stuff. Just on most days, I don't. And sometimes, I wished that I dressed and looked more "my age".

But I've been thinking.. why am I bothered by this? Why don't I feel free to be me? I'm fucking 21, and I'm still as insecure as I was when I was 16. What is it that is holding me back from accepting the fact that I'm a completely different person than most of the people around me, and love that about me?
