That evening the men were practicing archery on the green. Bill Door had carefully ensured a local reputation as the worst bowman in the entire history of toxophily; it had never occurred to anyone that putting arrows through the hats of bystanders behind him must logically take a lot more skill than merely sending them through a quite large target a mere fifty yards away.
It was amazing how many friends you could make by being bad at things, provided you were bad enough to be funny.
Terry Pratchett, Reaper Man

There was once was an almighty git
Who watson decided would fit,
Inside his poor heart;
(Although that wasn't smart)
He knew that he'd likely break it.

Carrot ran a few steps after the figure, and then stopped and came back.
"Why do you hate them so much?" he said.
"You wouldn't understand. I really think you wouldn't understand," said Angua. "It's an...undead thing. They...sort of throw in your face that you're not human."
"But you are human!"
"Three weeks out of four. Can't you understand that, when you have to be careful all the time, it's dreadful to see things like that being accepted? They're not even alive. But they can walk around and they never get people passing remarks about silver or garlic...up until now, anyway. They're just machines for doing work!"
"That's how they're treated, certainly," said Carrot.
"You're being reasonable again!" snapped Angua. "You're deliberately seeing everyone's point of view! Can't you try to be unfair even once?"

I never really found a way to fit in or stand out and I lost myself in the crowd and people’s expectations.

being a millennial is h a r d
for me anyway. between trauma and undiagnosed adhd I have been a very stuck person who doesn’t want to care what other people think, but in fact chronically worries about the opinions of others.
and now I’m such an “adult” for all intents and purposes and there is this idea of growing up. do we need to follow what we see “grown ups” doing? wearing sensible clothes, having sensible hair, listening to middle of the road radio music, and not being especially passionate about anything? i know tonnes of millennials who are not going in that direction but they’re all creatives or “misfits”, and I just want to blend in without assimilating. can I live large in a small life and be accepted, since I can’t get comfortable with not being accepted?
