“Free”
I’m not exactly happy, which explains why I have decided to write. This is the opposite of what I advice, as I believe nobody should impose their unhappiness on other people ‘cos frankly, other people is a person that doesn’t care much (And who are you to judge her?). On the flip side, even if you cared and took it upon yourself to find out the cause of my lack of joy, I won’t give you any definite answers; I like to come off as the dude with no Achilles heel and I’m learning how to sound like a politician.
Now that I’ve put that out there, I’ll like to state a few more premises before I go in on the post( I’m assuming this would actually help me by enough time to come up with something to write about). The posts on here would never be regular again. I apologize and I encourage you to accept change as I myself have had it forced down my throat with no vodka or whiskey to help guide it along. On the flip side I promise to continuously castigate what is wrong and praise what is right as I have done in the past. I will also do my best to point my lost comrades in the way of what is cool and away from what is not.
I’m listening to “through the monsoon”; it’s by my favorite German band, (as if I know any other German band, lol). The lead singer is into androgynous looks and stuff. I’m not saying it’s an awesome thing to be into, but you have to admit he is entirely free from any boundaries society would like to place on him. As a matter of fact the only borders are the ones he places for himself.
Nick Wooster (yeah, hit Google for a bit) was asked what effect his awesome sense of style had on his self esteem. He tried to explain that it sort of put him on eggshells. In summary, He has to balance out looking good and expressing himself at the risk of being criticized by the very people he criticizes.
When you grow up, you will realize that freedom is a state of the heart. When you take a good look at the photos on the sartorialist, you will realize that all the people in the photos are free, in more ways than one. On here, we are put in boxes, at our jobs, in our homes, in our families and the worst of all; in our wardrobes. A higher purpose of dressing (this too, will come to you when you get older) is to demonstrate freedom. Society expects you to wear black socks and keep them hidden. They expect you to come to work in a shirt, and ordinary trousers and stuff.
On the flip side, you are young, free and maybe even wild. This is why you will show up at the office in suspenders and chinos and Church shoes, by “Church” you know I’m referring to a label right? . A sense of uniqueness, it’s sort of like a signature, a fragrance or something. Everything is put together in the right proportion and the message is conveyed via the outfit. Life is too short to spend in a little box.
I finally changed the song, it’s still Tokio hotel, cos that’s how I feel and I secretly hope that one day I’ll wake up to and they would have put out a new album.
