The way I see it, there are two types of people in this world. The quiet ones who read the Lord of the Rings and the rambunctious, popular ones, who, of course, everybody likes - but only because they allow themselves to be seen. They thrive on it - recognition, attention. This is one way to go through life. And don't misunderstand me - that's perfectly fine. Yay for them. But sometimes (not all the time), these people miss things. When your priorities lie in popularity and material possessions, you're basically sticking a permanent piece of cling film between you and the world. Everything is hazy. This is when you become oblivious to the unique, amazing people around you (these are usually the quiet ones who read the Lord of the Rings). I'm not on their side because I am one (well, that's not the only reason). It's because they know how to listen, and they understand. (From our famous Stephen Chbosky's Perks of Being a Wallflower). They see the world with clear, film-free vision. The thing is, people don't really get to choose who they become. They're born with themselves, their influences, and a nasty little friend hiding around every corner - fate. And for once, in the merciless lotto of life, I'm happy with who I got.
