Lessons of Jamaa #31: Who says you can't be what you want?

Hi Everyone!
There is a poll on Animal Jam Goldfish Contests Blog to see how often we should have contests, Click here to vote!

Somewhere in the first two months of me on AJ, I decided I wanted to change. I didn't want to be this underdog at trading parties, this AJ slut, hanging with the same five people everyday. I wanted to change, I wanted to be something different. I didn't really like who I was, it was getting old. 

I noticed how most people refer to Animal Jam in a few different categories:

• The Rare/Trading People
• The Bloggers
• The Clan people
• The lovers

I didn't want to be just one. It seemed boring to be just one. The same, same, SAME thing everyday for the rest of your Animal jam journey. If you would change, it seemed people would be mad. Who says you couldn't be them all? Why couldn't you? Can't society accept that? Somehow, I got started out in trading. I didn't do much other stuff for a few months, that was so addicting. Now I'm on Goldfishypuppy, and came back to this idea of being more then one. 

Why couldn't I be them all?

I am them all.

I have a clan that I usually visit about two times a week. They are a nice clan, friendly, and do friend stuff together as well.

I have a blog, I'm joining Animal Jam Spirit, and I post everyday about whatever I want. You people still read it, because apparently you find all my mistakes entertaining. 

I trade a lot, I have fun with it, and I've learned to keep it in moderation. 

I do date around a little bit, every now and then, you know, love exists. I can't just ignore those feeling, if you know what I mean. It usually doesn't last.. 

My point is, who says you can't be whatever you want to be? If you don't like who you are, change it. You shouldn't have to be forced to like yourself, if you don't. 

If you're friends don't like you for changing, then they weren't your true friends after all.

If you feel like you'll never ever ever in a billion years find you're true best friend on here, trust me. I've been there, done that. Turns out, I never thought I'd be her friend. She seemed so quiet, hidden. If you have a friend like that, why not open up to them? Make an effort.

You don't have to go anonymous, suddenly switch accounts, or any of that wacky stuff to change. You can slowly approach, or suddenly say, "Hey, I'm done with this clan. See yah later!" or "Hey, I'm making a blog, You should check it out!" Do whatever your little soul desires.

If you like who you are, congrats. But what's wrong with LOVING who you are? There's always room for improvement. Give yourself what you love, instead of just like. I always try to work hard on my blog. I try to ask you guys what you want to see, and then do it. That's why I have the post requests page. And for the fact that I can sometimes draw a blank when posting.. 

Back to what I was typing about. I don't get why society thinks you should all be grouped up in one  section. Aldan has practically turned into a trading center. The sarepia forest is always dominated by clans. The bloggers are always shooed off to the side to the side of parties. I don't get this. I can hang out with anyone I want. We can all be anything we want, and hang out with whoever we want.

You don't want people judging and hating on you? Then don't judge and hate on us. Simple as that.  Don't make fun of clans because people tend to dress more nature like instead of the general neon colors. Don't make fun of bloggers because we have a passion for writing. Don't automatically call me a scammer because I have a top hat. That's not fair. I could tell you who I got every single item in my inventory from, from top hats to a silver glove. 

I have had a lot of stages in my AJ life. Being a boy, Hiding my rares, Acting Boring, Deleting all my friends, you name it. I finally have decided to embrace who I am, don't try to cover it up, not put up with fake friends, and do whatever in the name of phantoms I want. 

Remember, If their happy with themselves, be happy for them.
