Groupthink is a great movement to me. We, as humans, occasionally feel the need to please our peers. Why? Because society corrupts our minds into believing that we should be what society portrays us to be. (Hope I'm not losing you. Stay focused:)) I'm not afraid to admit that I've become a victim of our corrupt society, but now I'm also not afraid to say that it is trendy to show others that it is peachy keen to "dare to be different." Otherwise, you would slowly begin to lose not only your mind, but yourself.
As a young girl, I felt the need to hide the fact that I'm intelligent and into abnormal things. I had the wrong mindset which was to "fit in" which only lead me into being a follower. I lost myself & had to seek the REAL me again.
I'm still human. I cry. I laugh. I party. But aside from that I'm an 18 year old girl who loves literature- the kind that your English teacher assigned as readings in high school. My favorite genre of music is jazz, and I prefer it over rap. I love diversity. I have friends from different cultures. I take interest in nutrition & eat healthy. I love helping old people. And I want to change the world because I think it's possible I can do so.
Even with previous boys in my life, I felt the need to cover up who I really am & what really interest me for them to accept me.
I don't have a license.
I ride metro.
My mom's not rich.
But I'm ME. Loving, caring, and a proud young woman of God.
So basically, I'm saying to you all is be who you are. Please only you. Don't lose yourself. It's admissible to be the person you truly are.
