Going with the herd

Its amazing how nowadays being different is so absurd. Ive always felt that it was more of a challenge and possibly more normal to want to go against the 'mainstream'(As ironic as this is). And that way you can at least lay the foundation for a claim to be unique. As far as the rules of engagement go nothing says that we cannot make a complete sentence on a chat page without using slangs or shortening our words. (Not that I am detached from this accusation).

This is however a minute part of the problem or what I like to call a folly of the electronic age. People are more driven to gadgets and technology than they are to the people around them and there is a rapid loss of the understanding of what is important. As times keeping changing we keep redefining what we once called our 'values' and our 'beliefs' Its almost as if we do not want to be left out of the picture while also  trying to be the ones to capture the image. I guess what most people do not understand is that in order for you to hold onto yourself you have to let go of who you want others to see and concentrate on what you need to do to be who you want to be. We need to stop listening to mainstream music and maybe question what exactly it is in the lyrics that gets us, that makes us so attached. We need to ignore what fashion says we should wear and and maybe consider what kind of image we think defines our character.. ..A flowing gown or a pair of jeans? A cap or a hat? In regards to the issue of relationships maybe we should not focus so much on getting rid of the loneliness and embrace the people around us that make us happy. After all is said and done what is the point of life if we are not enthusiastic?

You only have only one shot at life so make it count. One day try to be leave the herd and form your own. Be your own shepherd.
