WTF Jamie?

I preach alot I know. I love to stand high above on my soap box and rattle off the things that make me crazy and angry and sad. Lately I have been stuck on the idea of conformity, so sit back as I climb on up.....

We walk through life trying to achieve the ideals placed in front of us. These ideals of life, of work, of health, of fashion and of love. We work hard to "blend in" and when we see someone who "sticks out" we point and snicker at them for being themselves. I often wonder if people spend some much time worrying about fitting in, do they forget who they are and what makes them special. It is only now on the brink that I see how much time I wasted in my youth worrying about "fitting in" and having an "ideal life." People disguise themselves for so long that when they finally do let go to their true form it is often too late and they are cold and hard to the world. Unable to see the beauty they have to offer.

Conformity is a killer. It takes your souls and chews it up. It hides art, and expression. It shortens our time to be us, to be free and to be happy. Worry not about what someone thinks of you and worry more about what you think about yourself.
