"We had a real chance to change our description"
Notorious B.I.G
Welcome to the Window. People frequently ask me, do I enjoy being so different to everyone else? Do I like the fact that I stand out? Well, frankly, yes I do. I enjoy it because it's who I am, I refuse to let other people change who I am. Yes, I'm constantly presented opportunities to just slip into the regularity of what I'm expected to be, but if everyone did that, then some people would definitely have trouble with their identities and lives, who they socialise with, etc. You read stories and watch movies about how so and so went on a trip to wherever or around the world, in an attempt to find their true identity, and connect with their inner selves. Truth to be told, that is a load of rubbish, and sorry to all of you who actually believed that and I unknowingly insulted you. You don't need to waste thousands of dollars traveling from coast to coast, country to country. The harsh reality of finding your true self is to simply wake the hell up from your go with the flow attitude, and come to terms with what you really are. Take eccentrics for example. They are truly being themselves, not afraid to show it, and not afraid to take whatever kind of comments the world might hurl at them. Geeks, nerds, geniuses, all of them seem like freaks to us, because they have something that we don't, something that may not be considered normal, and so they get labelled all sorts of cruel names. At the end of the day however, it's impossible to not have a grudging respect for them at least, for their God given talent or the height to which they worked so hard to achieve. Sure, they wander around the school, all hunch backed, looking really odd, but at least they're not pretending to be something that they're not. At least they are happy with what they are.
Everyday, we cover up, at least partially, what we truly are. I'll admit to doing it myself, but that's the first step that's harder than the rest of the route. When you acknowledge that you have a problem, you've taken the first step to fixing it.
I just realised that most of this probably doesn't make coherent sense, so I'll leave it here. Smile =]
Peace out.

- When you need to wake up in the morning, and set the right mood for the day, when you need to escape from the overwhelming everything of life. What do you turn to? How do you describe your core without speaking aloud, without having to talk to someone about it? This is how. Music. Lyrics. Poetry. Do you feel it? Do you? It's here, it's everywhere, locked within you, within the most tone deaf of us. It's begging to be released, become unleashed in a tearing chord, a crying melody, soulful harmony, dying lyric. You feel it yet? It's concealed here, within every word that I write. This is my release. I want you to see it, to feel it with me. This pure expression of every tangible and imaginable emotion known and unknown to man. To me. Welcome to The Window.
