New Era

being an individual is probably one of the best, most refreshing things a person could do for themselves. there are so many social molds out there, that really you are always around the same type of person. jocks, preps, the popular kids, the superficial kids, the loners, the nerds, the stoners, the promqueens, the hipsters, the scenesters, emos, ghetto's, black, white, spanish, asian, smart, stupid, burnouts, basket cases, and every other possible label you could ever think of rule our world. so when you find that one kid who does not fit into one of these categories or subcategories, it just feels so good. 

i am going to steal some idealism's from Chuck Klosterman's "Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs*" because i think that it really does show how the people of our world think of themselves as individuals, but really they just fall into a mold just like everyone else. 

- the kids who think of themselves as "creative" really are not all that different from the average bland every day teenager. because what is creativity? someone calling themselves creative, is just molding themselves into society's definition of creativity. 

so on that note, do something different, listen to a new band that no one you know has heard of. read an intellectual book that is not on your school's reading list. wear something because you like it, not because you are worried about what the people around you would think. be special, stick out!
