What are you waiting for?
Some thoughts that went through my head as I sat on a bench, in a mall eating a McChicken Sandwich and drinking an Iced Sweet Tea.
Is being an individual worth it in a world where the masses get the smoother ride? From what I could see where I sat on a bench, it seems that if you follow patterns of behavior, you seem to be happy. I have never been one to emulate patterns of behavior, at lest on a conscious level, unlike all of the various people that went by me as I sat. Some of their behaviors seem foreign (leading a girlfriend by her buttocks through the mall, glaring at other guys who look remotely their way) some were familiar (a girl seeming withdrawn in a group of lgirls that were outgoing. Not that I think I am a girl but the emotive state...) I usually did my own thing, felt what I felt, did what I did because I was being myself. Sometimes it gets to you, being outside looking in at the masses, but who ever said walking your path would be easy.
I don't EVER regret being an individual, but at times things in life try to make you feel it. At the end of the day, I never have flinched looking into my eyes in a mirror and I have never done anything to make me so. I wonder if all those who oppose individuality can say the same...
