The level of self consciousness is so high in my generation, that it's actually toxic.Give yourself a break people.
And I took the biggest detour from myself over the past year, since I decided that I wasn't going to care about what people thought about me.I couldn't feel the negativity, but that's because I couldn't feel much of anything. Try it.Worth a shot.
Reality: And really? Really? It turns out we're just not all that special, when you break it down. Beautifully unspectacular, actually.
What now, then? I can only really say for myself: Enjoy who I am, the talents and the liabilities. Stop acting careless. In fact, care more. Be vulnerable but stay away from where it hurts.
Act bemused when I'm bemused, flabbergasted when I don't know what the hell to do, and smile when it all goes my way.
I'm going quiet now.
