Being an individual

I want to live a life that inspires others.

My teenage years were full of songs like Simple Plan and Linkin Park, songs that sang of breaking from conformity and being an individual. However, being an individual has to have a purpose. You cannot just aim to break from the trend without an ideal.

It's funny that with this "indie" movement, the only thing people are moving into is the act of wearing fashion and listening to music that is not in the mainstream. Really? Music and fashion? Is that what you want to make your mark on the world with?

It is not the act of breaking away that is important, but the act of breaking away so that others can follow. And when they follow, they must be inspired to construct a world that is courageously selfless.
