Be Who You Are

Somewhere in the last few years, people have contented themselves with being anonymous unless they can hide behind a facade. Whether that facade be Facebook, MySpace, or just a simple manipulation of their personality, people can't seem to be content with themself. Humanity is afraid to leave the house without four pounds of makeup, the perfect outfit some asshole in Hollywood is wearing, and an entire mental script to make themselves look good. People learn just to say they know more, instead of actually you know...learning to know more. People find new music just to put down whatever someone else in into. Life has become a constant chase to one-up every one around you. Kindness has been replaced by cool. Good conversation has been replaced with meaningless arguments. Society has so much information constantly shoved down it's throat, people don't have the time or the interest to actually develop one of their own idea's, they just steal everyone elses. There's no true interest in furthering one's self, just a chase to make yourself look good in front of everyone else. Throw away the idea of what you think people want you to be, and just be who you are. True happiness come's from someone who is content with themself, not someone who everyone else in content with. Get off facebook and have a random conversation, stop watching TMZ and read a book. There's so much in the world that has meaning and substance, so man up and start ignoring all the meaningless bullshit people shove in front you. It's not going to help you at the end of the day, anyway.
