On liking things

I don't know about you, but I like a lot of things. I like liking a lot of things. I even like a some of things that the majority of the internet/people love to shit on. Taylor Swift is my jam, I have all of 1D and I watch Teen Wolf and I love olives and I adore makeup and I will defend Sansa to the end and all these other things.

Other people write these things off, and it's sad. I don't care if y'all like these things or nah, I honestly don't give a fuck. Bt some people just hate things and make fun of things without ever giving them a chance, and not only that, but they make others feel bad for daring to like things. Why? What's the point?

Liking things is great. My friend Ellie is one of the few other people who has also seen Starkid plays, and when we get together its kind of like

It's great and wonderful and we pretty much just smile the whole time we're around each other and our friend get a bit lost.

Liking things is a beautiful thing. Society has kind of conditioned us to be pretentious assholes. It's told us that the ideal is to have a few things to love and swoon over (the more obscure the better) and everything else we should hold in careful disdain.

It is good to know what you like and what you don't like. It's good to know why, it's good to have set ideals and thoughts and world views. But don't hate things just cause everyone else hates them. Also don't love things simply because other love things. Know yourself, know your reasonings, know who you are and where you stand. Like things just cause it tickles your fancy, like things because they resonate with your personal beliefs, like things cause they're catchy and you can't stop thinking about them.

When you unapologetically like things the world gets a bit more wonderful
