The funny thing about life is that you have no idea what's going to happen.. Ever? You can plan and plan , and things can still turn out differently. Its just the way it works. There are these imaginary rules set forth by your predecessors and others trying to show you the way, but what if that way is disagreeable with what your soul wants , it will be a miserable life. I see people who want to go left when society says right and they would rather live unhappily before they disappoint society. Everything isn't for everybody that's why we all have choices and a myriad of avenues we could take. Owning a home isn't for everyone, some people i.e Yours Truly would rather have someone else pay for broken down water heaters , and someone else shovel my walk.
Tieing the knot isn't for everyone. People figure that if you get married it places some kind of force field around the love that was present before the rings. I want to find a mate to be with forever, don't get it twisted, but I don't want to legally share someone elses life. Everyone has their views about it, that's just mine. Why do I need to sign ownership papers just to love someone infinitely? Some people feel its the highest rank in the love "army" , and who doesn't like to be on top?
Consumerism...Status Rank...keeping up with the Jonses... Yall know the name of the game. Now I like my fair share of fancy shit and name brand goods, but I'm a thrifter so that's how I get my fix without breaking the bank. I also feel like I don't have to have everything, just what I want. There is a serious issue with folks who can barely comprehend the English language and basic conversation but are cloaked in $500 coats and shoes. The truly wealthy and logical people know how to avoid society driven livin'. They make investments and sow seeds of financial independence in order to instill those values in their children. Buying useless shit to impress people who don't care.
In closing, you have to do what you to keep those smiles coming and genuine.Fuck society, people are not gonna sustain from doing what they like to appease you. Remember that. Do as you please and when you clock out of here know that you milked it and held the cup.

True happiness comes from within oneself first. Society has done a real good job of concealing it just to be in accordance to the accepted rules. But as time goes on, people are slowly waking up. It's a trend that I'd like to see continue.
