Labels! Get your red hot labels right here!
Step right up! Are you short? Tall? Thin? Big? Blonde? Redhead? Brunette? Smart? Dumb? Genius? Artist? Soulful? Religious? Spiritual?
You don't know how to label yourself? Well sit back, I will help you.
Labels are a capricious thing they are transient like clouds on a tropical island. The label can be pinned, glued, smeared or tossed at you. Some labels even stick for life.
Want an insta-label (yes I made that up) Walk into your coffee shop tomorrow morning smile and say hello. People will ask you why you are so talkative bam you got your first label of the day. But don't worry as you walk down the street with your coffee cup in hand as you walk by all the folks trying to get to the office in time in the space of a nano second they will seize you up and decide that you work in an office or retail or you are an artist. All these labels and you don't even know it.
I sometimes wonder what society would look like if we didn't carry these labels. How would we respond when asked: What is Jane like? What do you think of John? I wonder why we find such comfort in labels that are as useful as disposable napkins during a rainstorm.
There is one label I wouldn't mind having: "She always tried to her best for those around her."
So what is your label?
