Life Story : My World Just In 3x3 Room

I have this compulsive obsession with my bedroom. It's about the only place I can change around to suit myself. If I want the walls green , then green they will be, if I want photos of certain people up on my walls I put them there,if i want the walls like forrest, then forrest they will be,  if I want a certain song on I can put it on, if i want imagine something, it can be real in here. 

I am 17 years old right now, i go out of my town to my college town and rent a 3x3 room, from that my room was the only place where I could be myself. There was a time in my life, which everyone goes through, where I was discovering myself (some say this is a never ending process). This particular stage in my life I let what surrounded me control who I was. Whatever music was in - I'd listen to, whatever clothes were in- I'd have. A lot of the time I wasn't even aware of what I was doing, all I knew was I was hardly ever comfortable around people nor was I confident. 

At my collage it was cool to wear certain clothes, listen to certain music, not be a part of the Collage Representative Council and not to do collage work. Then we hit year 17, lots of changes began in my life. I looked at my life like it was my bedroom, I threw away what wasn't 'me'. I found myself subtley and politely distancing myself from 'friends' I couldn't trust or didn't feel comfortable around. I became proud of my involvement in the Student Representitive Council and started having an opinion without being afraid of speaking it. The more comfortable I became the more confident I was. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't someone without friends before this change, but with this change more people were drawn towards me. 

We all get drawn to certain trends, which is fine, but it's important not to let it dictate who you are or what you believe in. I recommend looking at your life the same way as you might look at your bedroom. When I did this, I put in some of my taste and personality and created the most comfortable place, all for me. In the end, individuality and being yourself is what happens to make you "cool"
