Life for me is an everlasting struggle against conformity, society, and brainwashing. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a rebel. I (seldom) break laws and I usually go with the flow. Besides, rebels are stupid. By doing the opposite of what everyone else is doing, you're still letting them decide your life. I'm a little more random then that. I rather do things on a whim because I feel the need to do so, not because something else affected my judgement in doing so.
Last night was a good example. Today was the last day of the meteor shower that has blessed us for the past few weeks. I decided yesterday, spur of the moment to go out and watch the skies for any meteors. It was around midnight and me and two beautiful girls decided to travel out into the countryside (about an hour drive) just to find a good spot to view the stars. Well, we didn't really find a good spot, but we found a decent one. I think i even saw a meteor or two, though I don't know if it was just my imagination or not. We didn't get home until 3 am, but it was well worth it. The calm and peace of the surrounding countryside provided the um... calm and peace that I needed from city life. (even though we did scramble to leave after what we thought was the moaning cry of a girl in the distance).
But yes, I struggle against conformity. I fought the superficialities of looking nice, owning the nicest things, and striving to achieve what everyone else believes they want. I struggle with society and pop culture: the need to do the same things that other people do in order to not seem like an outcast. Though at the same time, i am not one who does the opposite of society and becomes an outcast on purpose (which like i said earlier, is just as bad as being a part of society). And I struggle against the brain washing affects that society uses to try to conform us into all being the same.
I'm sure I don't need to elaborate. Because if I do, that means you don't understand, and if you don't understand, that means it's probably already too late. Just be like Buddha or some shit and meditate on it. Sooner or later it'll click, and what I say will make sense.
Don't end up being like me though, cuz if you do, then you really aren't understanding my point.
