Reflections on society by a rebeller
I wanted to drop a middle finger, but Iˈm keeping my cool , because whatˈs yet to come is already a big middle finger.
Youˈll see what I mean soon enough;)
Society is designed in a way to make you act, dress, live your life a certain way.
Your standards will never get to me.
It will take a lot for you to intimidate me.
We live in a digital age where making your instagram feed look perfect matters more than working on your so "perfect" called self.
What is authenticity anyway in a world full of illusions?
Why do you try so hard to paint the perfect picture? You're all bunch of pretenders anyway. I do not wish I had a 2M$ mansion or your 46 different Louis Vuitton purses. In fact, if i had that much money, I'd already be in Africa building schools and helping people who are truly in need.
Ya, Need. You probably know what it means, considering Gucci is your middle name and you love to act out of self-interest.
I never cared about fashion, makeup and all the "typical" stuff women spend infinite hours worrying about. "Does my butt look good in these pants, girl?"
Everything you breathe, eat, wear is dictated by this little voice in your head called society.
You want validation, attention, approval, you want to impress.
Dress to impress, they say.
Impress who?
Your crush?
Why don't you impress him with your pretty heart? Oh and why don't you throw on some sweats pants and a comfy shirt for once?
Oh no you can't do that right?
Society does not approve.
You are going against the standards.
Well, keep on living with the fear of what people think, and maybe one day you'll realize that a real good guy would have liked you for your personality, not by how well your butt looked in those pants.
Is your soul as superficial as your mindset?
If only all that time, energy and money was invested into something empowering.
Call me a maniac for speaking up about this, but you're as insane as I am for living by it and not doing anything about it.
This nasty world is trying to beat you to your knees and it's working. You are caught up in these standards. You do exactly what they tell you to do. At the end of the day, we are all tiny little atoms made of fucking dust, living on a tiny planet in a gigantic universe. I don't care what car you drive. If your clothes are this year cutting edge. If you are A list or B list, or never heard of you list.
I only care about the words that flutter from your mind and what you use them for.
You would "...already be in Africa building schools..."
Teaching them what, pray tell? You may need to think this through just a little more :-)
Your anger may be a little displaced.
"Your anger may be a little displaced."
That is an observation worth pondering. Where might your anger be more profitably directed? Perhaps at whatever is keeping you in bondage to what you are dissing. Society is certainly deserving of negative criticism, but perhaps that is merely shaking your fist at the tide until you have looked inside first and asked yourself why you built your home on a flood plane.
I'm really sorry.
My post was not directed to anyone or anything , and it was not meant to hurt or cause harm. I am pointing fingers ar society, and it was the purpose of the post. I can understand that from an outsider's viewpoint, it can come off as rude, and I'm deeply sorry because I never intended to be this way. The ones who are close to me know how respectful I am as a person, and it does not show in this post who I am.
@onceuponatime I agree with you. In regards to this anger being displaced or the interpretation of society feeling this way because main stream media emphasizes this perception.
@steemityourway If anything ignore Vouge, Fashion Week, and so on that force these high impossible beauty ideals that you might have referenced society being influenced under or following after which most normal people don't pay interest in because they are putting in the work to be better informed citizens, hard-working white or blue collared workers, or just taking care of themselves and family.
Africa does have meritorious natives that with their own sacrafice, hard work, and extremely underpaid labor build schools for orphan children of Africa (some children that have been persecuted for being "witch children" that were forced out of their village or away from their families because they can be killed for being thought to be a witch and they are housed by these people), so if anything they need people to talk about some of the social problems that occur. Who are the culprits behind this persecution of children (babies are not spared)? Alleged self-proclaimed preists that get paid from already third world poor familes to perform an exorcism for them to be socially accepted again into a village and not killed. Just a tiny thought.
Also, I know you most likely meant no harm at least I hope so but your word choice was a bit poor and felt agressive when you keep saying "you're, you, you'll" it brings a very condescending tone to your reader where you can't help but feel slightly offended. Constructive feed back for you to reflect on so you can choose your pronouns better. Better word choices could have been "At times some people believe or care for these things when they shouldn't". Also, "this nasty world is beating you to your knees and it's working" that word choice just makes a reader feel like you're angry in general with everyone and us (& that never will feel nice).
And in my personal opinion if you can put a point across without profanity that just means you are capable of explaining your topic profoundly.
I hope in the future you use better pronoun choices that way your readers can understand you a bit better.
Supporting the principle of education doesn't mean you need to have a detailed curriculum. It's like if you agree that you should go on a holiday but don't plan every single detail of the holiday. Government policy makers usually allocate a certain amount if funding to education but what is taught, where schools are built, how they are run, etc are determined by other committees and panels set up to manage the low-level details.

"I only care about the words that flutter from your mind and what you use them for."
I agree with this.
Chill though.
The words ought to be nice and respectful to others around you.
I agreed with that sentence as well.
:)
