| Endless...
It's time to up the ante.
And so you start thinking. Yeah, that's right. Thinking. Something you don't normally do. It's not "cool" anymore. You are driven by your desire to be accepted, your fear of being lonely, your fear of being left behind, dropped... You stop guiding yourself through life because you don't trust yourself to lead you to happiness... You think happiness means the latest trend, the latest friends, and the latest problems... You drift along, in your trendy clothing, with this weeks friends, complaining about your problems; ohhh boyy, you're just so intriguing aren't you?!
You don't want your problems solved... You're cool because of them... You don't want to be helped; and you don't what these things fixed; your drama, your heartaches, your distractions... You keep these things, because it makes people pay attention... You're willing to sacrifice your free will, just for those few breif moments of pleasure you get with every "awwww" and "OMG" you rake in with your pitiful dilemmas and complaints...
But no, you don't want them gone. You complain and whine about wishing to be normal, wishing to have just a happy life... But you CAN'T lose them. You can't give up your problems, you can't end your "suffering," because then what would happen? Ohhh, the "unthinkable" would happen. You'd lose your sorry, suck-up audience; you'd lose your semi-fame, your name, your reputation, your "friends," and everything you've come to rely on for happiness.
You'd be forced to have to do the work of thinking for yourself... You'd be thrust into the unknown, and you'd have to rely on yourself to get through life... You wouldn't be able to mindlessly glance at your "crowd" and know what to do. You'd have to actually rely on your own brain, instead of everyone else's. You're so damn afraid of using your own mind...
You're forced to act human, instead of following the herd.
These problems, friends, and dramas, they're all passed around. Day after day, and week after week they cycle through your crowd, and every time it's the same thing.
What can be better than yourself for bring new material into this world? You've got an imagination, USE IT!
You're all so dead to yourselves... You think the latest stuff is the pinnacle of creation, you think all these trends are "you"... But you're all so afraid to venture within yourselves and find the stuff that really is new; the stuff that really is amazing, and the stuff that really is you...
You ignore yourselves because you don't trust yourselves to innovate...
Who do you think sets these trends? Who do you think gets the most attention? Who do you think leads the most fulfilling life, and who do you think all you crowd followers are following?!
You're all after the person who's thinking for themself! THAT'S the person whose setting the trends, THAT'S the person who everyon'e paying attention to, and THAT'S the person who's happy with who they are and isn't scared of being themself!
You're all trying to be like her or him, because you see in her the one thing you want most, and that's to be yourself without having to worry about people not accepting you!
And so I hope I've left you with this: You have the choice... You can choose to take the easy way out of life; shut down your mind, and slowly let it decay and wither, slowly let all the greatness you're capable of drain away as you continue enduring the endless cycle that you and the rest of your drowd have gotten yourselves into...
OR...
You can choose to save yourself... You can choose to quit being a mindless drone, set to follow a crowd; and you can pursue your mind; probe the depths of your imagination, and feed on your own creativity... Become the person you were meant to be, your very best, and do the things that only you can do!
WRITE YOUR OWN LEGACY!
