RE: STACH Short Story Contest #16: 199 words, 10SBD prize pool!

“Now look at you, are you a boy or a girl?. My dad yelled.
I got into a fight with my dad again. He wanted me dress appropriately even when i don't know what that means. To be understanding he wants me to be like other girls, put on long skirts, heavy makeups and whatever ever girl do.
Unfortunately i am a TOMBOY, i don't feel like a doll, am perfectly happy the way i am. So i will keep my appearance because they make me who i am.

Mum walked me to my room. We arrived at my door in what felt like seconds, i had no memory of the journey.
Listen to me Stephanie she said, i know you're having a hard time with your dad trying to change you into who you aren't.
Don't let him. We all pretend we are perfect but we aren't. Don't let him crush your creativity and individuality, always LIVE FREE. I love you now go to bed. She pushed me to my door.
I realized she was right. Being myself no matter who that is, is more important than pretending to be someone else, i need to LIVE FREE.
