Regardless of how we cut it - we live in a society that is constantly bombarding us with ideals and ways to think, live, abide by, - but when we let society dictate how we’re “supposed” to carry ourselves, how we’re supposed to live, breathe, be, do, go, do, act, be - 

And as humans go - conformity makes sense, it allows us security - a sense of community, the safety of acceptance + being part of a group that can look out for each other and protect each other. It’s a part of our basic survival. 

Webster dictionary presents two interpretations for "conformity," the simple definition, “behavior that is the same as the behavior of most other people in a society, group,” and the full definition “action in accordance with some specified standard or authority.” Therefore, breaking from conformity entirely seems utterly impossible. Though nonconformist acts can be from dressing a certain way to becoming an activist against a customary practice. The least we can do is try to break away from social standards that are holding us back.
