defying socialization
There is one ultimate truth that we all must accept. Just as we are born, we must also die. The first experience is not something we can concern ourselves with, but the second is different; it’s something which is always lurking out there in front of us. This is not meant to be a depressing statement. Rather it should be used for inspiration when the intricacies of life threaten to bury us under their combined weight.
In our lives we are faced with abundant choices that sometimes overwhelm us and cause us to overcomplicate our lives. We tend to forget that the real experience of life is to be found in living life for ourselves.
There are so many people out there lining up to tell us how we should live our lives. The government would like us to fulfill certain places in our society, managers tell us how to do our jobs, teachers tell us what we should learn, parents tell us what type of people we should be and the media tells us what we all should be.
Of course, life is never going to be easy. However, sometimes it’s good to appreciate life’s up and downs as this way you know that you’ve truly lived. What’s the fun in travelling on a roller coaster that travels straight ahead at the same speed with no bumps, turns or loops? I don’t know about you, but I love the roller coasters that scare the hell out of me, I want plenty of speed, tight bends, loop, turns and quick drops. By experiencing the extremes for myself I can directly feel the pain or joy that those experiences cause. Mediocrity is a terrifying prospect.
Taking the road less travelled is often thought to be a good philosophy to apply to life. For me though I say don’t take the road at all. Go to places that no one else has been, do things that no one else has done and take away memories that no one else can have. Don’t choose a life where you are defined by your possessions, your job or your social standing, choose a life of rich experiences, vivid memories and evocative stories.
I can be so contradictory at times. On hindsight, maybe it's the struggle that makes life so interesting.

too good to be true?
It's as much a blessing as a curse to know exactly what another person is really thinking or trying to do to you - despite attempts to make it seem otherwise. Sometimes it's really better to stay foolish and believe in the goodness of people.
