Stereotypes
♥ 9:41 PM
Nerds, jocks, the populars, goths, hipsters, etc etc.
Apa sih enaknya dikaitkan ke sebuah stereotype? Memang kita pasti ngerasa dianggep. That we belong in some community, yadda yadda yadda. I get that. I use to bound myself in some stereotype.
Di entry blog ini. Gue cuma mau menekankan plus minus dari stereotype ini.
Plusnya, ya.. kita merasa kita "belong in some way".
Tapi apakah kalian pernah sadar bahwa terkadang stereotype kita seems like, ties up up, and giving us the thought that we're just that?
Contoh.. Gue sering mengikat diri gue dengan pandangan bahwa gue ini adalah seorang nerd. Yang suka baca buku, main nerdy-typical games, wears thick glasses. Dan karena stereotype ini gue jadi sering mikir, "halah I'm just a nerd kan". Mungkin terlihat simpel, tapi if we still think that we are only our stereotype kita karena mayoritas sikap, interest, dan jalan pikiran kita ky stereotype kita itu, kapan majunya?
Yah, memang terdengar frontal. Tapi kadang stereotype yang kita pegang ini jadi state of mind kita, yang kadang-kadang menghambat kita untuk maju dalam batasan-batasannya sendiri.
Misalnya... "I'm a jock, I don't read books"
Lah emang kenapa kalo kalian suka olahraga dan kalian suka baca?
Or else.. "Gue kan cewek, gue nggak ngerti soal mekanik" or "Masa cowok belajar masak"
Nggak ada salahnya kan?
Malah terkadang suatu stereotype bisa jadi alasan terjadinya diskriminasi.
Memang nggak apa-apa sih punya stereotype tersendiri, tapi kalo udah terlalu mengikat diri sama stereotype itu sendiri sih. Mmmm....
We are all special in our own way. Don't believe that you are just a stereotype, you can do more.
Nggak ada salahnya lo merasa seperti seorang nerd, tapi lo juga punya passion dalam bidang olahraga?
Entry ini masih sebagian kecil dari stereotype ini sendiri.
But I hope after reading this you will realize that stereotypes are just stereotypes. It can't bound you from anything that you want to try or do.
KEEP MOVING FORWARD! :D
HOW'S LIFE?

Well, as you can see.. I'm still alive, last time I checked.
Life's been good so far, pretty irritating at times though.
Well, I will try to post more entries, seeing that I've got some off days from school.
..I hope I do have things to type though.
