Hello, lonely
So i was talking to my friend Nik Rogers the other day and he told me about his great idea for a story, how he hoped to capture the people around him and put them in a book. His own little corner of Michigan, he said. He said he wanted to try to capture the feeling of our generation, about how everyone is very insincere nowadays, no one can really do anything other than joke around, and everyone always feels very awkward talking about anything serious.
Nik was made to be a writer, he has such a good eye for observing people, and I think he understands people better than just about anyone, even if he doesn't have the proper vocabulary to describe what he thinks.
I was thinking about what Nik told me, and I realized how right he is. Most girls claim they want a guy who is "sincere", but what they really mean is they want a guy who pretends to be sincere so that they can feel better about the person they are dating. I don't think anyone really knows how to be sincere anymore or what "sincerity" really even means.
Conversation is all about entertainment, and if you're not entertaining to talk to, then you're not worth talking to. It's kinda sad in a way.
It's not hard to see why our generation feels so confused and depressed - we live in a society that has been trained to never mean what they say and never say what they mean.
That's my deep thought of the month, courtesy of Nik Rogers. If I had thought of it first, I'd write a story about it.
Think about it.
And as always, stay classy.
