I'm a crusader.

If you know me, you know that I am somewhat notorious for getting very convicted about lots of things. I like to have opinions about things, and as long as I have an educated opinion, I generally like to share it with others. My best friend calls me a crusader. Well here comes my next crusade.

People need to stop taking themselves so seriously. There are so many people in this tiny little town of Murray, KY that have the opetimized "holier than though" attitude. People think that because they listen to "alternative/indie" music and wear "different" clothing, that they are better than others.

The fact of the matter is, so many of these people are just searching for a certain mold or box in which they want to fit. They do everything they can to fit that mold, totally independent of whether they actually like, care about, or are convicted about what it represents.

What needs to happen is simple. People need to be themselves and not continually try to perfectly portray a certain image. Do what you feel. Do what you like. Who cares if other people don't like it or don't care about it. Be yourself dammit.



"To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." ~e.e. cummings
