Oh the price we pay, to live the way we live each day... We all want to be "different", yet we never seem to indagate the true meaning of such a lifestyle, or the road we're all headed.
It's no longer about happiness, but about being "different" from others in the way we talk and the way we dress. Yet when the smoke starts to clear, few will see it clear, that in our fight to be "different" we are all just being the same.
Our paths are set by what others think, by their opinions of the life everyone else lives. The clothes we wear, the color of our skin, the texture of our hair, the places we've been. We live to please, strangers and friends, yet we never consult who truly matters, ourselves...
It has happened for so long now, that we truly don't know ourselves, for in our quest to be different, we've been busy being someone else. It will take some true soul searching, some silence, some time to ourselves, to see that some of us actually like the color blue, and not the color red.
The color red was chosen when we found out that blue was taken by someone else, that same person from which we've been trying to be so "different", not realizing that obviously there aren't enough colors available for us to have one to ourselves, inevitably by everyone trying to be different, we are simply being alike and losing ourselves.
Spend some time with the person that matters the most, find out the stuff you truly like, relax and be yourself, fear not critiques, friends nor foes, just live, truly start to live, that's when you'll see the difference...
