Shared with A Pseudo-Journalist's Surreal Den

---

I'm proud to have been part of the Generation X. I don't fit in the "Gen-X" archetype at all, but I share many, many features with them.

And I think that one of the most important features of my generation... is "nonconformity".

Or, in other words, never give it up and always keep true to yourself... And that includes being faithful with everything you believe!

(But what do you believe, Jey?)

I don't believe in conventional marriage..., because I believe in true, unconditional and mutual love.

I don't believe that we have to work only to make money..., because we have to choose a work only with the help of our own calling.

I don't believe in many of the rules imposed by authorities..., because I want to keep myself as a free thinker and a free man.

I don't believe in the traditional sense of family..., because a true family is linked not by blood, but by joy, friendship and respect.

I don't believe that our dreams should be silenced by anyone..., becuase creativity is our best chance to survive on this planet.

But...

...What do all those beliefs make of you in the end?

(That's a good question...)

Those beliefs make you a "loner"!

Why?... Because just a few of individuals believe in those things you believe.

Fortunately, it's positive when there are people that believe in what you believe.

(Thank God for that!)

However, the most of the time, it's hard to get in touch with that kind of individuals.

And that's the greatest risk of having your own beliefs..., because, if you don't have the love and, specially, the support of any of those individuals..., or the love and support of any "friend", to be more precise..., maybe you won't complete the path traced by your own dreams.

Or worst of all..., maybe you'll give it up.

And that's why being a "loner" is the best reason to tell yourself this... everytime:

"...NEVER ...GIVE ...UP!!"

(Why?!)

...because there's a path you "want" to finish!

...because there's a path you "should" finish!

...because you really don't know what awaits for you in the end of that path!

...because maybe your accomplised dreams await for you in the end of that path!

...because maybe, if you're still a loner, a new found friend or a new found love awaits you in the end of the path!

...because maybe, when you reach the end of the path, you will look behind with a warm smile in your face!

So, keep telling you this always!!

"...NEVER ...GIVE ...UP!!"

...because there are some people that gave it up..., and they missed a lot of things when they did.

He was a real boy, believe it or not, folks... And he gave it up, in a tragic way...

So, don't give it up, folks, no matter what happens...

And keep your talent alive!! =^_^=
