That's a fault in general society. People feel the need to live up to certain expectations for fear of non-acceptance or being shunned. Sometimes certain events in your life change your mindset. Obviously I can't speak for Ali. Live your life how you want to live it I say. As long as you're not hurting anyone else in the process just be comfortable in yourself.

And if you can make someone else happy in that process then it's all good.
