Do you remember in my second post where I said some other day I'd write a long rant about the irresponsibility of my generation? Yeah this is going to be one of Those posts.
The world has a solution for everything. You don't like your hair? You can change that. You don't like your boyfriend, just get rid of him. There's make up and surgery for your face and body, there's abortion and pills for poor decisions and accidents in the back seat.
You don't have to be responsible. You just have to cover your mistakes.
And then we sit ourselves in front of mirrors and cry ourselves to sleep cause we're not perfect.
We've lost sight of what good and perfect is. We've lost a true sense of maturity.
I talked to someone recently, a college student. He'd decided that Love is dead. Understandable, since he came from a family where his mom had left them.
But if we don't have love to hold on to, what do we have?
Our mirrors? Our magazines? Throwing ourselves into the world and losing ourselves to reality?
Well, apparently that's what the majority of the known population believes. I, personally, believe that love and trust and stability are not dead things from the past. I think beauty is relative, but not relative to the tv screen. I think conformity is what this society has bred, a stupid conformity that pulls people into a whirlwind of destructiveness.
The world is pulling itself to bits.
How does this relate to you?
Good question. What have you done the past year?
Have you built yourself a foundation, or have you gone from group to group of people, from boy/girlfriend to the next, changing yourself?
Have you followed the crowd and given in to peer pressure?
My guess is, you have.
And that, dear reader, is how this relates to you.
The person I mentioned before said it wasn't too late to fix everything. I said it was.
So fix it, but not the quick fix society has given us. Make it right, the right way. Actually change, don't just say you will and procrastinate.
Prove me wrong, Reader. For the sake of humanity, Prove me wrong.
