Yes I’m blonde, don’t make assumptions

From as far back as I can remember people assume that because I am blonde I have the most fun and have no brains. They seem to assume I am easy to pick-up and easy to make fun of. I cannot tell you how many “dumb blond” jokes I have heard in my years. I am picked on because I am blonde or I am not taken seriously because of my hair color. Not matter who we are people will make assumptions. It is easy to fall into the pigeon hole society attempts to place us in. We need to remind ourselves who we are on the inside and let that show on the outside. Skin, hair and eyes those just give us color in a dull world. Shine bright from the inside.
