Get Ahold of Yourself!

What the hell do you think you're doing? Quit avoiding that awkward conversation and get on with it already; the world isn't gonna stop just because you feel insecure. Man up. Or woman up... Just quit being a pussy for once.
Communication is the most important aspect of any social interaction. For some strange reason, the basic human instinct when faced with adversity is denial. We lie to everyone. The entire human race seems to be afflicted by this strange and saddening phenomenon. The truth always seems to be much more painful than the lie and I guess that is the very root of this problem. Everyone wants to avoid trouble; by admitting the truth we feel we are inviting more trouble because we very often break the rules, break social norms, or break the law.
The root of bad communication is fear. THere is some social complex that leads us to believe that we are inferior to peers. It gives us the drive to do better but it also takes away our ability to be ourselves. I refuse to acknowledge that the majority of people can't get along. This extends to politics, relationships, and our community. It is not that hard to recognize each other's differences so it would benefit society if things were based on the complements to these differences instead of excluding or pushing away those who don't quite fit.
All it takes is a little effort so its time to challenge yourself. Be who you actually want to be instead of wearing the mask that so many people wear. Be true to yourself and to those close to you, because nobody can navigate this path alone.

Look to the stars to guide your way,
