Going Against the Grain

It’s what I do. I shy away from what’s in, even if I would otherwise like it. Sometimes I wait until some of the frenzy has passed and make it clear I like things in spite of their popularity, not because of it. Other times, I just cannot let myself like something because everyone else does. Sometimes it’s silly. I shouldn’t limit things based on how others feel about them and I know this but it’s become such a habit that I find myself doing it without thinking. I am automatically turned off of things, without making a decision about it, because others like it. It makes me wonder what I might be missing.
