It's okay to be normal. You do not have to strive to be different.
I know it can be difficult in our gone wrong world, and it certainly isn't fashionable but you can be normal and you don't have to feel ashamed.
We now live in a world with people clamouring over each other to be 'different'. It's the thing to be these days. If you are not being different then you're a nobody. Apparently convention and tradition is just so boring and so wrong and therefore it's best to avoid it if you can.
We are bombarded with government and corporate messaging telling us 'just be yourself' and 'break the mould' or 'do things differently' or how about 'dare to be different'? And what about 'let's redefine beauty'. NO LET'S NOT REDEFINE BEAUTY TO INCLUDE VERY FAT PEOPLE WHO MAKE NO EFFORT WITH THEIR APPEARANCE WHATSOEVER. GAH!
What on earth has gone wrong? Yes, fine it's absolutely right that you should feel free to express and be who you are without any societal pressure dictating that you must fit into a mould, I wouldn't suggest otherwise. But if you happen to be a thoroughly awful person who seeks to hurt people, or someone with no personality whatsoever or someone determined to annoy people with your overall shitness then DO NOT BE YOURSELF AND TRY TO IMPROVE YOURSELF SO YOU BECOME A BETTER PERSON.
People think they can go out into public spaces and disregard that a very important thing known as community exists. It's as though in their tiny self obsessed minds there's no such thing as community, and that public spaces are there just for them to vent what's going on in their private life on everyone. NO THAT'S NOT ALRIGHT. SORT YOUR SHIT OUT BEFORE YOU LEAVE YOUR HOME. MAKE SURE EVERY PORE IN YOUR BODY EXISTS TO MAKE AN EFFORT TO GET ON WITH PEOPLE.
It's alright to be normal, don't feel bad, in fact feel good. Just feel sorry for those pour souls who think that they have to be something different in order to feel they are something valuable.
Convention is beautiful. Tradition is strength and security. Never let them deceive you. Don't ever be fooled into thinking trashing the place and being an annoying self absorbed, guilt ridden, virtue signalling prick is progress, it is not.
Thanks for reading.
Peace!
