Good ..midnight?
I've recently found myself grumbling on about how fake and artificial people can be. I mean why should you say something you don't mean? Act like someone you're not? Wear a skin that's not yours? and put on a mask which covers your face and true inner beauty? I believe that everyone can in some twisted way be beautiful, and i know for a fact that there is only one of each person. No one else can be like this person, no matter how hard they try. They could undergo surgery or be an identical twin..but no one is the same. The problem in this case arises when people try to act the same, look the same, talk the same- you get my drift. And said problem goes by the name of conformity.
This so called conformity has started to affect some acquaintances and i can see it eating at them bit by bit. The worst part is how unaware they are of what is going on. They feel some kind of change but deny it. They secretly like it. They want to be part of it. Change is good, but changing into someone you're not isn't. So here's to radio head for writing such good songs..
Peace & Love

hey...i googled fakeness and found another person's opinion..thought it wud make sense to post it x x
ReplyDeleteunfortunetly there is no way to tell if someone is real these days.
It makes me sick to see so many young souls being lost to trends and trying to 'fit it'. No one is just themsevelves anymore. Walking in schools I see all these differente distinct cliches and everyone in them look EXACTLY the same. Same type of clothes, hair, and way of presenting themselves.
People just like to conform because it makes them feel like they belong and like they are not alone. When truely their lives are nothing but a fake disingenuous cloud.
And the worst part, even when someone is different or just themeselves others tend to make fun of them or ostranize them.
It is so sad.
And such things as trends and cliches leave people so confused about who they are. Its just overall a horrible cycle.
Id love to hear what you think.
In our lifetime, we may have many friends, but the list of "real" friends will probably be very small. "Friend" comes with a loose definition, as there are different types we call friend. Each can have placement in our lives, but in a different way. You may have a friend who you have fun
ReplyDeletewith, but would never feel comfortable telling your deepest secrets to. Then there is the friend who you can trust with anything; the type that walks beside you in life, a kindred spirit-->>and you are just tht vic :D
