Life's What You Make It

You know, society usually tells us to put up barriers between us and "them". It's wrong for guys to have emotions, let alone show their emotions in front of others. They get labeled as "homos" or other pleasant terms by their peers. It's wrong for girls to be honest and blunt about how they feel. They get labeled as "bitches". Society has all of these little names for people when they act a certain way that it's no wonder so many people have a hard time expressing themselves. If people are constantly in fear of how they will be perceived, they are never going to be open about their feelings. The minute society gets off our back about all of these things is the moment people will actually act they way they truly are. What's funny is that society is all about "being true to yourself" when all they really want from you is for you to put on a brave face and act whatever part you play in your life. Society doesn't want you to be "natural" or a free thinker; they just want another drone to fill in the space that they need and require at the time. Life is funny that way, hm?
