Conforming is not cool.
I've always found it hard to do what I'm told - I'm not very good at conforming.
I hate conforming to what people expect me to do.
I have a fear of labels. If someone labels me, I have to respond - do I acknowledge it, reject it, deny it, live up to it, and defy it? Labels can affect your ability to be yourself. If you're not careful, like I wasn't when I was young, that can take a toll on you. You find yourself conforming to everyone else's ideas of who you are.
China itself has said repeatedly that they will and have been conforming to international law.
Thank the Lord for using each person as a tool in your life to deepen your insight into His grace and conforming you to the image of His Son.

The main criticism that I get is, 'Aren't you just conforming to a patriarchal standard of beauty?' Well, this is just the body I was given. I didn't do anything to it - it's just my body. But even if I had altered it, that would be fine, too.
Conformism is a potent statement, and as much as we do talk about individuality in fashion, there's a sense that people are fearful of not conforming and not being part of action.
