Life Worth Living
I guess following the social norms is what drives our society to become so boxed in, so detached from who we really are, and who we want to be. We are all awaiting acceptance into something hoping that they want us for who we are, and who we are going to be. Whether it is conscious or unconscious, we all do it in one way or another at one time or more, and that’s just how our society has been conditioned to function. If someone is different than that of the alpha, then people, for the most part, discriminate and judge the outcast and stamp them as a production of society that should have never existed. This troubles me and has me wondering what the future holds for us and our children. For I know that my kids though they may have their own beliefs, that they will accept all of them around them and forget those who judge them for who they are or who they want to become. For life is to short to live it in a living hell of not being fully in love with yourself and those that you keep close with, so yeah forget them if they judge you, love them if they accept you, and find who you want to be and love yourself until your last breath in this cruel world, for you are perfect with all your imperfection, and to live a life where you’re not fully satisfied with is almost like never living a life at all.
