The Pull to Be Like Everyone
It's not one big moment of pressure. It's a thousand tiny ones. The slow, constant pull to like what everyone likes, say what everyone says, want what everyone wants. To round off your edges until you match. Nobody's forcing you. It's more like a current, gently moving everyone in the same direction, and it's easier to float with it than to swim against it. You've noticed you're starting to blur. Your opinions sound like everyone else's. Your tastes have quietly shifted to match the group's. You're not even sure when it happened. You didn't decide to become more like everyone else — you just stopped resisting the current, and it carried you there. And now you're wondering what's even left that's just you.
