Picture perfect, yea right!

You see a person covered in tattoos or piercings; what do you think? Or with unusual colored hair; what do you think? Or dressed in a nice suit, perfect hair, perfect everything; what do you think?

Perfection, as they say, is in the eye of the beholder, right? Unfortunately it seems not true, for perfection seems to lie in the eyes of others when they look at you and judge you. While most have the opportunity to mold themselves into that which others “believe” is socially correct, others live on a daily basis being different, either feeling as though people look down upon them or distrust them or even not except them.

While the socially correct people live in their glass houses, pretending to be happy, the ones who are the “not” accepted are hiding also. The sad part is every one who is not being true to themselves are hiding from something. To actually break the chain in all this, society needs to take a good look around and see that those narrow-minded glass house individuals are no different then those who they see as socially unacceptable.

In the interim, those who are different actually do the same putting down as those who are accepted. Confusing right?

The idea of life is to live, the idea of to live is to choose your path, not follow someone else’s, not excepting what someone else says is right for you.

Yes, people, there are rules, laws and so on, so for those who might be thinking I don’t mean not to follow the rules well that is not true.

One must follow the law, one must be honest, not steel (whether it be actual items, or time) and one must stop looking at a person with the naked eye, start looking at their inner being. Start looking at yourself like that too, some of you will not like what you see. If you're trying to keep up with the “others” instead of doing what is correct for you, well shame on you because the laws of the universe will intercept and you might be happy at that moment but your inner self will have issues.

In the spirit of life one can actually have it all! Be you, inside and out, be kind to others, and remember, that which you put out will come back to you.

Remember like they (whoever they were) “never judge a book by its cover” because you might miss something fantastic, never try to be something your not, it will never work, and don’t compete with others for things, it's a waste of time if it's not meant for you. And above all, remember there are all types of people in this world, some rich good and some rich bad, some weird good and some weird bad, and then there are those who are just them all good bad and everything wrapped up into one.....
