Commercials

Have you ever stopped to wonder what the deal is with wearing brand names? We pay a lot of money to wear a company's logo or name on our shirt or jeans, just so people will know how cool we are.


We want to be accepted for who we are, jet we go out of our ways to be what we think others will like.We are like a walking paradoks. Wanting one thing but most of us do all we can to be something else just to fit in. The paradoks is even bigger, because when you look at it those that we want to be like are not like anyone else. They are who they are, not trying to be someone else. It's just take it or leave it. And we take it with both hands, still we try to be like them to be liked. When you look at your friends, are they all like you?? If someone just like you showed up, would you really like to be with that person? Or several?
Don't be afraid to stand out!
Isn't the beauty in friendship that we are different but with some common ground. We see things a little different. So we buy into almost anything just to be liked. We pay more than the value just to wear their name on the clothes. Visible. We're like billboard to each other.  I thougth we got payed to wear commertial, specially with things like food, toys or stores. You know what I mean. But when you take clothes, and specially those that have managed to make their brand cool, you pay over the value just to wear the clothes. They don't need to spend to much on advertisment, because we are it....
So what is the lesson learned here?
Is it okay to sort of stick out your neck and be yourself?
I really think it's time for me to do that, not that anyone would say that I try to be like everyone else. I am me, I am just a small part of me....

Till next time,
God Bless
