Unique Vs. Queer

“Ella you’re so boring. How come you don’t drink? How do you have fun like that?...Eh eh….you girl, you don’t even wear makeup? Are you for real?”

Yadda yadda yadda…..

Oftentimes I get these sorts of remarks made about me and I almost always roll my small eyes out of their sockets.

I have a deep-seated aversion to night life; I’m a bona fide loner who thrives in her solitude; I only recently watched Game of thrones; I know zilch about soccer; and I'm such a scaredy-cat, et al. 

So what?             

Does this make me any less human?

Why tag me odd just because I don’t subscribe to a certain way of life? Who sets this bar? What is the canon for what is deemed right?

So I don’t wear makeup; loathe weaves, heels and lots of other stuff archetypal of my genus; does it alter my gender?

The mere fact that it doesn't infringe on anyone and or anything should be sufficient for us to coexist. 

Moreover, can you envision a homogeneous human species?

Life would be totally dreary if you ask me. 

It goes without saying that this miscellany is indispensable; if for nothing else, to strike some sort of balance. 

It isn't fanciful therefore to deduce that I’m unique; as opposed to queer.
