Today I bought a Pixie Lott album. Now, this probably isn't that big of a deal to most people but I have spent most of my musicl years only listening to certain genres and usually avoiding those which my social group looks down upon. My music taste usually only consists of rock, indie and punk. So, an almost literal popster like Pixie Lott doesn't have much place in my library.
But now that I'm in college and I have finally separated from my old social boundaries, I have begun to open my eyes and ears to new styles. And to be honest I'm much happier then what I was. It's not as if I wasn't happy before, but, well. Actually I wasn't. I felt very restricted and self conscious about what I could do and even feared the social backlash of being myself and not wha is expected of me. So I guess now that I have moved away from that, with not a single member of my old social community joining me at my college, I can truly be myself. And I'm happier then I have ever been. I may not be many years older then what I was, but agemis but a number. True wisdom comes from the mind, and I like to think that I have a good understanding of how much I have changed in a matter of a couple of years. I know I haven't experienced much just yet, but I am confident in my own wisdom.
Being able to be myself without worry or even a single care about what others think about me has made me so much more happier in life. I know that others consider me odd and different, and because of that, I will probably miss out on quite a few opportunities but I happily sacrifice that for inner peace. I implore you as the reader of this blog to be yourself and never try to be what you're not. You may think that you are happy but you can be happier, if you only bothered to be true yourself and stop worrying about what society believes is right. Look at me, right now, I doubt a single person has bothered to read any of this blog just yet but it doesn't deter me, doesnt even before me. I write this blog for myself, no one else. I will look back on these days and comment on how I've changed.
Always doing his own thing in peace.
