You know, I've been thinking....
When someone says, “just be yourself,” how exactly does one go about doing that? Originality is dead. Everyone’s a product of millions of tiny factors in their lives; whether it be your favorite band, your religion, the environment in which you were brought up in, your friends and family…everything has a major impact on who you are as a person. And that’s okay, but to a certain extent.
Using your brain, figuring things out, and having genuine opinions are things gradually going extinct in my generation, and that’s extremely disheartening. So many people my age are wasting their lives away, and what’s worse, they don’t even seem to care. All they care about is going out and getting hammered every weekend, and then barely gliding through school for the remainder of the week. Why? Because that’s what everyone else is doing.
But I digress.
Almost everyone I know (with the exception of a select few) is pretty much a carbon copy of what they think the perfect person should be. (cough cough *I blame the media* cough cough) Lacking originality is spreading like the plague around here. And I’m so tired of it.
