Sheep in a Jeep.

I haven't gone "off" like this in some time, but I feel compelled to say something more...something deeper than what is being said nowadays. Nowadays, everyone wants to be heard. Sometimes, however, they're not really saying anything. It just SOUNDS GOOD. I want my words to effect change in a positive way. I want people to read this and wake up as I have awaken to the person I became and eventually turned away from. This world has truly changed for the worst, and I don't know IF it can return. However, I hope one day we can get back to a place where people have basic respect for others and themselves! And more importantly, I pray that we all get back to KNOWLEDGE OF SELF.

Let's talk about that concept. When you know where you're coming from, you know where you're going. When you don't know who you are, you go through means to discover yourself. And many times, in my opinion, that becomes a bad thing. It's like trial and error..."Gee, wonder if this'll work!" Lol. I've learned that nothing in this world can help you discover who you are as a person, yet almost everyone I've met uses material to define themselves. I'm noticing that more and more. I admit I did it too. But that is not truth. That's not realistic. These "things" aren't eternal. They are trends. Trends come and go. So when something comes and goes, how can you use it to define yourself? You'll surely come and go as well! But I guess that's what we call "Keeping up with the times". And in keeping up with the times, we've become a world full of people who believe whatever the news tells us, wear whatever they say is the latest and greatest, speak whatever lingo is popular based off the newest song, and drink the most popular alcohol shouted out in a song. Who are you? Are you your own person, or have you become a marketing tool? "Put a pin in it, we'll come back to that."
