    I'm sooooo glad I'm not the only one that feels this way.

    See the key here is to just not worry about it.

    someone i met recently said they were a REALIST. Not just a realist, but a MUTHEREFFIN REALIST!!!! That was the one thing that stood out the most when meeting them and i never forgot it. It has been a TRIP getting to know this person because they really ARE a realist. Its CRAZY. There is not one thing fake about this person. HOWEVER......try convincing them that things in their life WILL GET BETTER!!!! :eek: it is a TASK let me tell you.

    Walking a thin line b/t being a realist and trying to create something totally unique is a challenge that can shake you to the depths of your core...

    people are as people are. i truly do not think we as people are truly any 'different' than what we once were. i think we just have information overload, so much more *contact* in so many different ways. people have always been this way, it may just be more noticeable or obvious. honestly, it's all coping mechanisms, making your way through life, and i don't know how *fake* it really all is in any case.

    ST ... you aren't imagining things ... it's true ... we've become a society absorbed with the superficial ... pop culture that has no soul is what connects people ...

    we no longer engage people on the things that are real and important - it's about what happened on some fake reality show or how drunk we got the night before ...

    'society' may be like that....but i am not, and the vast majority of people that i have in my life, close to me...are not either. i engage people on things that are real and important all the time. life IS what YOU make it.

    All the frickin' time.

    I'm so sick of this fake world and media fuelled generation, it makes me want to eat my own arms.

    If you know you're real, true, honest and meaningful, who gives a fuck about the rest?

    Because 'the rest' are the future of our country.
    It frustrates me that the current generation (not all, but most) are shallow, materialistic and ruthless. It makes me think twice about having children who'll have no chance just because they'll have a brain and some degree of honesty and decency.

    My children have all of those things :)

    I don't think they have no chance. I think that they'll rise above the ruthless, materailistic crowd because I'll have taught them to value their uniqueness.
