Does anyone know the real you...what are you afraid of?....one person not liking you....what does that matter with the millions that are out there? surely one won't matter...... do you ever feel weighed down by social niceties?....maybe that's the problem....every society has social norms....if it's someone's birthday you have to wish them a prosperous year, etc etc....when you meet someone on the street it's polite to say hello and ask how their family is etc etc....and if they have bad news you have 2 feign shock and concern and wishes for happier times....all the while all you really want 2 say is "wish i could stay but i really gotta pee".....now that's sincere....that i could buy.... are we so afraid of breaking social norms that we can't be ourselves? sometimes i feel that way.....and i find when i shock people with what i say..it brings a smile to my face...cause i know i haven't conformed...i know i've chosen my own path... i dislike people who use a lot of words.....to me they are just over speaking to hide their real intent....they flatter and love the sound of their own voice....they talk and talk but never say anything.... i tire of the game....is it a sign of maturity?...who knows...cause i still feel like i'm 16....all i know is i cherish honesty....it is so rare these days....and i'm not saying that i am all the time....i'm not....but i try every day to be more like myself and to not be ashamed of it....i think that is the best you can give of yoursef...your true self...without any apologies....i know i'm in here, somewhere.... An Ounce of Change is Worth a Pound of the Same

Social norms have come into force after many centuries of testing ! Religious norms came into force at the instance of religious heads who want their supremacy ! We can challenge the wrong norms. But......have to suffer all along ! In the end we may be recognised as change makers !
