I guess I just feel like people care too much about how their viewed by the world and they don't want to undergo the absolute trauma of disagreeing with someone. You know you've seen it yourself... when two people are talking and the one with more confidence makes a statement followed by the more insecure person agreeing even though you know that they don't agree at all. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that I never fall into this trend of mindlessness, I have and I will in the future as well.
I know it's part of life but lately it's just really been getting on my nerves. I hate how people don't wear what they really want to, or make decisions that they just get pressured into. It especially bothers me when people let others tell them how to practice their faith. You have a brain! Figure out what you believe for yourself. In my opinion it's better to make a truckload of mistakes trying to figure out who you are and what you believe than to live by someone else's standards and live in a bubble your whole life.
I've recently become aware of how natural mistakes are. I've always been so concerned about never messing up that I wasn't who I wanted to be, I was living inside the box after I'd told so many people to live outside the box. Pretty hypocritical of me huh? Sometimes it does one good to step out of your comfort zone, go new places, meet new people, see new things, and let your mind expand.
I feel like this has and is going to continue to be a great year for me. Growing up and deciding what I really think.

So funny that I thought I had passed this stage a couple years ago.... Nope, here I am again. I am not sure that people can accepted being disagreed with a lot. More so, I think that people really are brainwashed. If you take someone who is not strong in what they believe and put them in a room with a highly opinionated control freak, someone is going to be screwed over.
Keep thinking for yourself, you may feel alone at times but at least you can sleep at night.
