A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

The older I get, the less I let others decide what to wear or what to look like. After being treated poorly by lots of people for decades, I have realized that trying to normalize anything is useless. You don't need normalization to do it. The only thing you need is to just do it. When it comes to clothes, I basically wear sports clothing everywhere, be it a wedding or a business meeting. People sometimes block me at the entrance to a party but I don't care. If you don't accept me, I'll just drive my cow pattern Porsche 911 elsewhere. That is the true rock'n'roll lifestyle. Don't conform, be the trendsetter. It can pay off as it has paid off for me.
