La Di Da, Just another entry from the "Me" Files......
The world has changed, my friends.
We used to be able to be who we were really, with no questions asked, no problems evolving out of ridiculous drama. Now, we spend all our time looking back on "the good 'ole days", when really, they weren't that long ago. We just forget things so quickly while we are distracted by the real world...real life. I don’t wish I could go back in time - That wouldn’t change anything. I wish people would be people...not things. Or "characters" - Each person made up in their own mind, and played out by the body they live in. It’s like we are living in a theater. You hold in silent screams of annoyance while wearing a smiling mask over your face, trying to be who you are really, inside. But it’s hard when everyone expects you to be so different. So...perfect. And you want to just tell them all to mind their business. Then you remember that you asked them for their opinion, so you just sit and listen, smiling, wishing you never had. Your mind starts to wander, and suddenly, you are somewhere else, someone different. Someone real, created by your soul. Not pushed and pulled into shape by the world, or the people in it. Someone alive. If only you could stay there...

thanks, ill try it
This is crazy good! I've been feeling just like that for a while now. This pretty much sums up alot of things about life.
I think it's so annoying how people shape you and restrain you from being yourself. But fear not! I have found a way to be yourself.
It's very simple. All you do is....DO SOMETHING DUMB!! Go crazy and wild. Build a makshift wagon and ride down a hill in it, build a boat and see if it can hold you in a river, whatever it takes, you'll feel refreshed, and, well...alive.
