Deal or no deal

Why is being popular such a big deal?

 

I believe many felt that way before. Entering high school being unnoticed, hoping to be seen. Making choices with the right types of clothes to be justified as normal human being. Doing things to catch attention of the others. Listening to the right music instead of what you really like in order to be cool. Wearing the thickest makeup and judging the plain janes as monsters.

 

Yes, these are the ugliest truth.

 

There are still people out there claiming that they don't give a damn about being popular. The truth is, they give a damn about it. They want to stand out even though their mouths deny it. People feel cool to blend into the coolest clique. It never work. It will not work.

 

Think about the days when you are going through the hardest time. Stuck in debt, in the middle of highway, or probably psychologically. Let's say, a hundred. How many gonna be there for you out of a hundred? A hundred might be exaggerating. Let's say, maybe, just ten. How many gonna give you a helping hand?

 

It's never cool about being popular. Popularity is just a term persisted by people. One doesn't to be a popular person to be loved or liked. You don't have to do anything to be loved or likes.

 

Screw it! To the thick amount of powder on the face.

Screw it! To the ridiculous layer of eye liner the eyes.

Screw it! To the hanging out with groupies.

Screw it! To the narcissism of photos to prove that you're not a loner.

Screw it! To the branded goods that give you the right to show off.

Screw it! To the most hit gadgets you have in hand.

 

C'mon, it's the best ever thing to be yourself. Tear down the mask on your face, whether it is make up, wealth or lies. So what even if you are a loner. Loner has his/her rights too. Being a loner is not the end of the world. You have the rights to love what you really do. Walk out of that mask and ignore how people gonna look at you.

 

Being real, is the real you.

 

Stooping low to get the desirable attention might be cool at times. But y'know what, that "cool" is not gonna last forever. It's about being you.
