Silence Is Golden..and Being Different (from my context)

Sometimes being silent is more precious than anything combined.

U get ur boss to finish his discussion faster.

U get to hear other ppl's feedback before inserting urs. Thus u get to see their point of view and a hint into their window.

U get to save ur face more often than not.

Anyway, being outstanding does have it's price.

And everybody loves a burning wo/man.

To walk over from convention and to release the inner demons, is still a step I'm learning.

I know that to release oneself from convention is liberating, but sometimes to dissappear and immerse amongst the crowd, is what I'm aftering.

I like to lost myself in the sea of people, as if I'm merely one of the ectoplasm that's scouring the face of the earth now, to be insignificant so Death might forget for a while that I existed, to be forgotten so I feel as if I am free to overule convention or not under the spotlight of others or under the scrutiny of my own, to be free..

It's odd that being mediocre is a stereotype, to be different is also a stereotype. So, what is not in the category of a stereotype?

People stereotype those who works for the government, those who works their arse off, those who defy their bosses, those who after work go home and do their routine, those who doesnt hav friends, those who has too many friends, those who flirts around, those who wanna settle down..

We stereotype a lot. Even being different nowadays is of norm.

How can we cut ourself out of this cookie cutter world?

I'd say, by mixing all the element there are and add in with an element of surprise or unpredictability.

So basically, how does one describe such person? I'd call them time bomb. Cos u never know wat they gonna do next. Haha..

Ironic that when one pursues too much individuality, they tend to end up being as normal as possible, cos they've had it, enough is enough. I guess it's what one calls baggage overload. hehe..

I guess that's just it.

The more I try to pursue self gratification, the more I realise I just wanna be normal but accepted for having my own different opinion which people might or might not approve. Hey, freedom of speech rite.

I discover I love doing things when other ppl tend to do it one way, I'd purposely seek the other. It's a very conscious effort, to see how the result would turn out. After all, what good is being predictable when u can do something else, learn a few tricks or two along the way, and might come out of the other road dutifully unscath, first or even last, positions unaccountable. Do I even care? I guess not. I'm being philosophical here. Stop me.

Guess what really amazes me is when I see an aging grandma smoking as if she's done it since highschool, a professional executive with a tattoed ankle, a sweet face with a belly ring, a biker with a baby..yin and yang..white and black, contrast in a package. I guess one doesnt need to shout in order to be heard.

And I guess, that's the beauty of life..the thing we observe through our own small pair of eyes backed up with a whole world of possibilities, imaginations, perception and discrimination.

Be different..but personalise it.
