I have started this response over twice now because I have a problem with the general idea. If my clothes told you anything about me, you might mistake me for just another fraternity guy who looks damn good, but in all honesty I don't know what to tell you about looking at myself as a text. Because all I see when I look into the mirror is questions. Who am I? Why do I look like this? What will I become? What have I been? And when I ask myself these questions, I never get an answer; I only get more questions. Society changes every single one of us from what we originally were; it forces us to play by certain rules, be normal, and do their best to better society. But why do I have to that? Why can't I be myself? But I don't even know who I am so I guess I have to listen to society.
Do you actually know who you are or are you only a censored version of your true self? The ones that "don't conform" are the way they are because society has pushed their ideas and thoughts away. So they feed off of the fact that they are different. But if you are "different" and all your friends are "different" then you and your friends are the same, thus making you a conformist. There is no way to escape what society has planned for us. The generation above us controls even the ones that say they are not controlled, because society ignited the flame that causes them to be different. So I guess the point of this post was to look at yourself as a text, but when I look at myself I only see how the people that I have surrounded myself with have created me. Even the people that I hate or can't stand have helped create me, almost more so then the ones I do enjoy being with. I am just a combination of my peers, family, and the world around me. So who am i? Well... I don't know.
