RJ on Individuality.

There's no point in hating life...
Hanging with a friend around my local city, we came to his favourite place to hang out, talk to his friends and meet new people. Frankly, it was an enjoyable experience up until the time I relised something.
Individuality has changed hugely from what it used to be. Time was, Individuality meant you all were different to each other, and didn't assign yourself to a certain crowd or group, but drifted happily throughout life being what you wanted to be, when you wanted to be, HOW you wanted to be.
However, standing around this park with my friend I realised that every single person in the park was an individual - at least, they all said they were. BUT there's the thing.
Every single Individual there was wearing either some form of Goth clothing, some form of extreme heavy death metal merchandise, or just some plain old (ironically named) indy or "scene" clothing.
Which basically defeated their argument that they were all individuals. Everyone there looked the same, acted the same, and despite believing that deep down, NO ONE in the world was like them, the fact was they were surrounded by hordes of people who - brutally honestly - could have been entirely interchangeable.
and there was me, wearing a checkered short sleeve shirt, blue jeans and a leather jacket, being stared at by the "Individuals" for not fitting in.
God did I laugh. XD

It's great you were actually an individual, I know I am because i am obsessed with the soviet union (I sing the anthem to myself like it's the latest catchy song on the radio), my iTunes is full of obscure soundtracks from video games, I play Pokemon, I am quite eccentric, I can be very random, I wear bright colours in contrast to my friends and of course, I'm bi XD
