I like my anonymity.  Being able to walk around with no shoes on, my hair not done, and with only a T-shirt and a pair of faded jeans on.  That's my style.  Natural, carefree.  Basically a bum.  But hey, I am comfortable, I am me.

Then I got to thinking, if I was someone famous or well known, well then I couldn't very well walk around in my T-shirt or jeans anymore could I?  Nope. I would have to spend ridiculous amounts of time grooming myself, dressing myself, placing the jewelry just so, oh the list of mundane tasks goes on and on....and for what?  To maintain appearances?

Just go to a Fashion Show, and you will see what I mean.  Everyone is dressed to the 9's, not a stitch out of place.  Because they are all there to see and to be seen.  Because they have their names out there, and if someone were to see them looking less than 'perfect' well the gossip in the social circles would be tremendous!

Oh thank the heavens, I don't have to deal with any of that ridiculous fluff.  I mean there are people starving in the world, war is killing off thousands every day, children are being abandoned and abused, animals being mistreated....and you want me to give a crap about what shoes I am wearing?

Point being, I like living on the fringes of society.  Being the unknown, scarcely noticed girl at any given event.  I can slip in, I can slip out, and no one cares.  Heck, I can even go barefooted and bald and no one will give a fig. I can dance the whole time while everyone else is cross legged and sitting. I can even lick an ice cream cone and watch it melt and drip on the carpet knowing about 10 people will mess up their shoes later on when they step in it.  And I really don't care.

And that is why I like my anonymity.  Because I can be me, do what I want to do, say what I want to say, and I don't have to kiss anyone's rear end, invest in anyone's business, fawn over them with complements, nor do I have to act like I genuninely care about their latest drama.  And all because I don't have this need to feel like I belong.  I don't have this need to make a name for myself, nor be in the spotlight, nor be the talk of the social circles.  I don't have to drop names to feel important. I don't have to tell people they need to change this and that about themselves.  I don't have to put on airs.

I can be me.  Can you say the same thing about yourself?
