Don’t Follow the Water, Unless You’re a Shit

“Following isn’t really my style” — Tony Stark

I apologize if the title sounds so rude, but yeah I think it is suitable for what I will talk about. Moreover, don’t judge the post by its title. And I won’t talk about proper or not, but I will talk about those fckn things that you actually shouldn’t do. Really, guys. Really.

Okay, start from mine. I, currently, have a new world. I can say that I should place it to my 2nd home. When I say “should”, it doesn’t mean I feel it as a home. At least, not yet.

I saw many things that didn’t feel like fit in me. But my brain said it’s all still good. Because this world is created with different things, right? That makes all combined and match.

BUT, that’s not what I mean.

Have you ever felt to wear clothe that doesn’t fit in you? Or maybe this way, did you ever forced to wear fancy clothes when you’re not comfortable wearing it? But you’re forced to use it, because all the people, or people in the neighborhood is using it. Yes, that’s approximately. Have you?

Well this is the thing that I have noticed over there. There are some people that I see, in fact they aren’t supposed to behave like that. You could say, just because of prestige.

Honestly, I almost drifting. Carried away with a culture that is not “me”. I don’t need to say what kind of culture, but bottom line, if I followed it, I would lose myself.

Then I look in the mirror, what I’m actually looking for? What do I get if I come “dressed in fancy, that the truth I don’t like it”? Would I get any benefit?

Then my future answer, “no, you will lose yourself”.

I will be harmed by the actions that I shouldn’t need to do. Go with the flow and drift inside. Shaping the image so that I could be considered the same. Is that really what I’m looking for?

Absolutely not.

I forgot with my own personality. I don’t want to be viewed as the same. I don’t want to follow. As Iron Man said, that’s not really my style. I have to do what makes me comfortable and happy for living it.

“I do not need to wear the fancy clothes. Just being as that simple, if it makes me comfortable”.

You’ll never know it feels to lose yourself, when you’re forced to go with the flow. Or you do know it but you refused to follow up and ignore your heart. Come on, feel sorry for yourself. Don’t get in a day when you live your life and end up regretting it.

Except that the flow you follow makes you a better person. But the context of my post this time is not like that.

So? So keep being you. Yourself. No one can change it except you, not anyone else, not your surroundings. When you feel you’ve been on the track and felt that the neighborhood can bring you into a person who is not good, but you have to remain there, just remember about where you came from. Remember that once you’ve been with people who have the same vision with you. It means, that you will eventually find the same people. Probably not many, but certainly there. Trust me.

And now all you have to do, is just keep being you. That’s all.

Look at the results later. You’ll never know that secretly there is anyone who would admire you as what you are. Admire you because you dare to be different.

And who knows you will be followed and create a new trend? For whatever the reasons.
