Who Am I (Living For)?
Society...Salvation or Damnation?
A lot of you might be disagreeing with society's standards right now and some might actually think society's standards could be the worst thing ever! Actually, it really isn't! If societal standards didn't exist, we probably would still be living separately without a language that could enable us to communicate with one another. Remember, English is the standard international language (proven by the fact that more than 8 million people speak it worldwide, Wikipedia). Who decided that? Society did! Society is also capable of deciding trends based on what the majority of people prefer. For example, the spring flower crown trend might have spread because one person wore it, and a group of people saw it and decided they liked it too! Society spreads information so quickly and helps us discover new things that we might find interesting!
However, the actions and thoughts of one, if supported by many, can create a mutual "standard" or "definition" of a certain thing. Society can determine the way people should behave, the way a person should be like, and what's considered "cool" or "not cool". While some things, like general ethics and manners, are based upon these standards, sometimes these standards rise up too high and aren't as good as we think they are.
So...who am I (living for)?
You are you; your actions and decisions define who you are, not what other people say. People shouldn't be categorised -- we are all different individuals that make up one diverse society, and we should all be okay with that! You don't have to be a genius if you're an asian, and you don't have to listen to boybands if you're a girl if you don't want to! Follow trends if you want to (things are popular for a reason), or dress up the way you want: it's your life, and it's your choice. You are amazing just the way you are and no one should judge you or try to categorise you for it. Don't ever do something just for someone else, and remember: this is your life. You choose your actions and decisions, and you should be appreciated for that!
