Society, trends and life.

Life is an irony i must say.
We spend our entire lifes trying to grow up, then when we do ... we want to be young forever. We hide our ages, not our experiences but we are pushed to hide many things.
Day to day we are pushed by society to follow trends, to follow things we never would have imagined to do.... And just to follow things that makes us be as the rest.
What ever happend with the idea of being unique?, being a one in a million soul?, and that it is our uniqueness that makes us special?
well, i guess it has disapered.
When we open a magazine, a newspaper, when we navigate through the inet... it makes us realized that we are just a clone of eachother. Copying dress styles, hair styles, shoe, everything..................
I believe that fashion it is necessary, but we always have to put a personal touch into our styles, otherwise... we just become another maniqui of advertisement and marketing.

it's so true.

why do people hide behind the false masks advertising and trends offer us every day -
why is it so hard to see what's behind -
and how can we ever be ourselves
while we follow taboos and rules made to make people forget about their inner self, made to transform people into will-less and blind consumers of the always same news trends and lifestyles

Eso tiene un transfondo psicológico muy profundo. Queremos pertenecer a un grupo para encontrar "sentido de pertenencia"; es lo que nos empuja a querer ser como los demás. A la vez queremos destacarnos de los de nuestro grupo, sobresalir y ser "admirados". Necesidades psicológicas, pirámide de Maslow...etc. Qué le vamos a hacer?
