I don't want to be like everyone else. So when things I do start becoming mainstream...I lose interest. Even when being like everyone else is rational...it repels me.

I always have to ask "why?" And no, you will never really catch me questioning authority outright. In fact, in most cases, I respect authority. But when it comes to morally questionable actions, I will question you to no end, no matter who you are.

I've realized my identity and how identify is unsettling to people who've stuck by what they have identified with their entire lives - whether that be religion, race, ethnicity, culture. art, etc. I can never truly be one thing, and the moment I start to heavily identify with a culture, I realized I was never truly fully a part of it to begin with, because I am too many other things. And so I float. But I am free.

At the same time I acknowledge that I was born into certain circumstances, and have been heavily influenced by my upbringing and environment. As I have gotten older I've taken things into my own hands. I have created the path I have chosen and I shall continue to forge this path how I see most valuable. My past is of the utmost importance, because it shapes my outlook. But it does not dictate my future.
