Is there any danger? No, no, not really.
We’re all perfect little monkeys. Give any human being on earth time, and they will get used to something. They’ll adjust. Bad smell in the car? We’ll adjust. Global warming? We’ll adjust. War? We’ll adjust. But what if I don’t want to adjust? Is that wrong? Sometimes I wonder if everyone is really the same, deep down inside. We can all adjust to anything we want to. We don’t have to, its just a lot easier if we do. But I’m different than that. I want to stop adjusting. I want to be different, I don’t want to live with the norm. Isn’t that the only way to change things? To fight back, and to not adjust? I don’t want to get used to this war that’s been going on for half of my life. I don’t want to get used to being the person nobody really takes seriously. I don’t want to get used to being beaten down and not being allowed to do the things I really love. But can I change? Have I become so accustomed to adjusting, to accepting, that I can’t learn to do the opposite? What is wrong with society, with our parents and friends and the government that we all learn to adjust? Nobody is taught to fight back, so we don’t. We need to learn things from the generation before us: mistakes are not easy to adjust to. We can’t accept the fact that we can change things, we can make a difference. I give you all a challenge: Do something tomorrow that scares the shit out of you. Tell the person you’re in love with that you love them. Make amends with someone you hate. Talk to your parents about that thing that you’ve been dreading. Just do something that you know you should or could do , but don’t really want to. Because the first step to making a change starts with yourself. Stop. Stop and think it over.
