Woman wear makeup, men wear suits.

I was talking to my mother this evening about coming out, and how it's hard for some people... And it hit me just how far behind, yet almost just yesterday that I told my parents of my homosexuality. My mom is getting used to it now, she just has an issue with my use of makeup. I try to explain to her that gender can be played with. There are no real rules in this world saying that woman must wear dresses, and makeup, and men must wear suits, and have short hair. I'm afraid my parents will never understand, but that's okay, because I know that I understand myself... For the most part. I've been fascinated with makeup since I can remember, and whether it's "normal" or not I'm going to continue doing so. My parents always try to tell me that people think I look like a freak, but what they don't understand is that I don't care what people say or think about me. I get compliments all the time on how I look, from all different ages, races, and genders. I feel bad for people who fear difference. As long as you are following your heart, and you're not hurting anyone, do whatever you want. In other news, I know it's been a while since I posted... Again. I'm still working on my writing, and looking for a job. Although, I know I should just suck it up and go back to school. Decisions are so hard for me to make.
