Being.

Sarcastic smiles and fake hellos..

I utterly detest plastic people. I just really can't stand them. Wearing a mask is probably one of the stupidest things one can do. Why can't people just be real and true? Why do people have to conform? Why do people have to care what other people will say about them? Why do we even need a reputation? Masks are just ways of feeling secure with yourself with no guaranteed permanence. I hate sarcastic smiles and fake hellos. I hate how people are just like that because they have to be. It's wrong.

I hate how the world accepts a person. There is always a standard one has to be based on. Our teacher, Maam Missy Maramara told us to stay away from mob rule because going with the crowd doesn't necessarily mean it's right. And I actually agree with her but find it hard to heed her advice. Usually being with the crowd gives us a sense of security because in the event of a screw-up, there is always someone to hold, and someone to be with. Gone are the dare-devils of the world, who can just stay away from the crowd and follow their gut.

I want to be a dare-devil. Is anyone with me?
