So, sitting here today casually browsing the interwebs and I started thinking, how does anyone know who they are these days? With pressure coming in from all sides and all aspects of life how can one find the time to discover who they are. There is no escaping outside influances these days. There is no originality left in the world. You can either fallow a pack, one of many out there, or get outcasted by all of them.
You have the pop culture group, these people are pretty bad, if you dont know whats going on with every singer or actor/actress with this group you cant be apart of it. If you dont know what the latest fashion trend is your out as well.
With the Sports group, you have to know about all sports all the time.
With the religious groups you have to see eye to eye and cater to all their needs and wants before your own. You have to do what they say when they say it.
Even subculture has its rules, You have to dress a certain way, but not like anyone else, You have to be unique but not too unique so that you stand above anyone else.
You have the art groups who these days... well lets face it, if you dont use a computer for art it is no longer art. Sorry but art via the computer these days is nowhere near as good as with the hand and brush, pen, pencil, or marker.
So, you either have to bow to one of life's groups or be an outcast. You have to fallow to belong. This is not right. Maybe this isnt the way it is. Maybe I am wrong, but I am yet to be proven wrong.
What ever happened to socializing of the internet? With out texting? what ever happened to going to a 24 hour restaurant with a group of random friends on any given night and just talking while drinking coffee for hours? Its not that expensive. What has happened to the world these days?
You know what? If you want to fallow the crowds, if you want to live a boring life, if you want to never laugh or truly experience life, go ahead. I am going to start living mine. I am a mix of all the groups I just mentioned. I dont know everything about the bands I listen to, the fact that I listen to them should be enough. I dont know the stats to all the teams I like, I just like the energy of the game/sport. I honestly dont know what to believe these day when it comes to religion. Doesnt mean I dont pray before I go to bed every night. When it comes to subculture, I love tattoos and piercing, I love the art that is self expression, but I have my limits. I may not be all that good when it comes to computer art, but I can express myself on a canvas or piece of paper using most mediums, I dont care if you dont like my art, its not for you, its for me. I hate conversing via the internet and through texting, if you want to talk to me, lets meet up and talk over coffee or even a beer or two.
Im just going to be me, if you dont like it, I could care less. If you dont like the way I live my life in some way, guess what? Its my life, not yours. Forgive me if I dont fallow your trends. If you have an opinion or advice for me, do me a favor... keep it to yourself. This is who I am deal with it, except it, or move on.
