Mercedes Jones+ wanting to be true to herself
#hey remember that time that Mercedes starved herself to stay on the Cheerios because it was her only shot at fitting in at McKinley? #then after talking to Quinn decided that she was more important and that she shouldn’t let society define how beautiful she is #then went on to sing a song empowering the whole school to see that they were beautiful too #Remember when she went on to quit the Cheerios despite the status that it afforded her because she didn’t like who she had to be in that … #uniform and she gave up her chance to sing live on national television because liking herself was more important #remember when she told Puck that the important thing she’s learned from Glee club is being true to herself #remember when Mr. Schue assigned everyone to write an original song#and most people’s song were about their SO’s or just foolish things in general #but Mercedes song was about self respect self empowerment #and basically saying ‘HELL TO THE NO’ to people who wanted to change who you are? #Remember when she broke up with guy she was in love with because she didn’t like the way she had acted#and she wanted to find herself before entering in a relationship with anyone?#remember when Mercedes paired up with her friends and sang about being beautiful the way you were born #and I didn’t include it in this gifset but remember when everyone was dressing like Brittany #and Mercedes was one of the only girls in the school that still kept her style and didn’t conform to what was the popular trend#REMEMBER?
