Passions

Do you know what is wrong with society these days? People are afraid to recognize their passions. They hide in their dark little corners and chastise those who would revel in their passions. People are afraid to do what they really want to do. Want to go to Del Taco at 2am? Then go! Want to walk barefoot to the park? Then do it! Want to travel the world with nothing more than a song in your heart? GO! I'm so tired of people telling me that being me is wrong. Dreaming about owning a business? Sure! Why not? Because life is only so long before you wake up dead and realize that the only thing you did was what everyone else wanted you to do. And how does that make sense? If they want to do something then let them do it. And what is with people never showing exactly how they feel? I had a teacher once who always wanted to laugh, but for some reason he never did. Are you happy? Yes? Then freaken smile! First dates? No need to play games or act like things aren’t what they are. If you are having fun then have fun and if it isn’t then don’t act like it is. God gave us emotions for a reason and they are a precious gift. Who are we to ignore one of life’s most beautiful assets? Enjoy life. Enjoy love, friendship, freedom, art, and even pain. Yes I know pain isn’t enjoyable, but you should appreciate it for what it is because sometimes pain is one of the most dictating things about us. It can make a person great and mighty or completely destroy them. People need to be alive! And be who they are! That being said, doing only what you want to do all the time will only lead to anarchy. So where do we draw the line? I guess as long as your actions don't inflict upon someone else's freedom then it is acceptable in America. Mostly... can you say gay marriage inflicts upon other people's freedoms? Well, even if it doesn't I'm completely against it.
