In the time and age we live in, so much energy is put forth to please others. Through our living social media world, it's easy to lose track of who's important here. The person I am speaking of here would be otherwise known as you. Tu, vous, for lack of better words; you. It's time to stop shining your spot light on that instagramed grilled cheese sandwich of yours and take some pride for who you are. Everyone has a strong suit, may that be humor, creative doodles, or tap dancing in your grandma's shoes.
It's easy to be downgraded in a society when we are so commonly hushed in a world of today. So, now would be the time to eat your grilled cheese and appreciate your awesome qualities as a human being. May that be through sharing your usually sheltered writing entries with a new friend, or joining a painting class to let your charisma shine among the people you meet. Granted there's a time and place for everything, and that weird joke about your Dad's pube doesn't quite belong in the open air to gain new friends. Being in Chicago two days a week has allowed me to see how isolated and judgmental viewers can be. This is when that imaginary teenage sidekick who sits on your left shoulder says "suck it" to those rude snobs. By you thinking everyone is against you, or boring as a stale oatmeal oat, you have become a product of your own thought. Sociology class has taught me how refreshing it is to break a few social norms. If you google just a few (very easy to find) and try a few in public, you'll see how easy it is to break the barrier of boring. For the sake of intelligence, the clothes and shampoo has little to do with what your brain can do. What we can do with our thoughts, ideas, and Epiphanies is what can shape society as a whole. Own whatever it is that lights your fire of interest. Don't think you have any? Pfft. Try exploring the crap outta an area you think you do enjoy. Taking a ceramics class or joining a Frisbee team may bring you closer to what was already there from the get-go. Knowing your strengths is half the game. May that be creativity or mathematics and run with it. Do something fun you want to try and have a kick ass time doing it. If you're being yourself, that's the best suit to wear among the crowd of society. Have this backbone of truth, a realness. All to easily, us humans tend to judge the living shit out of one another before actually getting to know the person. With that being said, it's important you speak with kindness and rock out to what you enjoy. Quit being afraid of viewers, and just be the person you already are with good listening ears. Asking a random person to play Frisbee isn't going to kill you. And odds are you may make a friend who may be nothing like you, but that's the beauty of meeting new people and being a kick ass individual. Own it.
