It's Been Awhile

It's been awhile since  I last blogged, sorry for that to all of you who read and absorb all I am saying. Life has been really hectic lately and it looks like it won't be slowing down any time soon. I wish it would though because it feels to me that there is so much I'm missing out on because the days just roll on through so fast that if you blink you will probably miss out.

In other news though... I wanted to talk about pressures today and why we give into them.

The other night I was at a party and for some reason I started drinking and for someone who doesn't drink that much or at all for the matter it came as a big shocker to me when I realized what I had done. It got me thinking: "why did I start drinking in the first place?" The answer is: Pressure.

Now just because people don't force you into doing something doesn't mean you aren't pressured to do it. The status quo for this generation is so unreal and undignified that it is unimaginable to think of a time when there wasn't nearly as many girls getting pregnant before they get out of high school or to think of a time when college students didn't spend every weekend getting hammered or stoned. I mean what have we come to?

Doesn't anyone remember the stories of their parents childhood and what they did to pass the time and to just hang out. I mean why can't we have a pickup game of some sport and play for hours on end and then go to a friends house and just chill and watch movies. I mean doesn't anyone just get tired of abiding to the status quo that we've seemed to have put in place for ourselves. I know I'm tired of it and I disappointed to say that I'm guilty of abiding to it.

Pressures to do things are always around us and as kids we fall victims to the evil doings of it and we can't control ourselves and rationalize. Pressures are over rated and the status quo is deflated. I find no reason for any of it.

But the reality is no matter how loud I voice this truth it will never change and the world around all of us will continue to have pressures and we will always have to live to the status quo,

My advice: Try and break that status quo and be that one person that stands mighty and tall. Don't give in to the pressures of society but be an individual that does their own thing rather than be a groupie that does what everyone else is doing. BE DIFFERENT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE!

Sincerely,
