Some people are like clothes
You just grow out of them They go out of fashion They have stains you just can't wash away so you have to throw them out (or keep them, and use them to clean the floor) You get bored of them, donate them to the charity shop, and they're just what someone else was looking for You go off them but then you discover them in your closet and feel glad you never got rid of them permanently They are cheap and cheerful They're pretentious They're over the top They keep you warm They make you uncomfortable You need them to be socially accepted in most places You feel quite free without them They don't define you
