I am an adult. I am a 20-year old grown up person and don’t know what this writing will head to or even why I started it this way.
I know one thing. I am different, only for others, only for those who expect me to be like something they have been well-acquainted with or they think is "usually acceptable" in the virtual social protocols they have developed for themselves.
Virtual Protocols, yes, they are virtual, because people have not been handed over by some divine power any script of the universally acclaimed and accepted protocols that would make their lives a cakewalk :))
They are, in fact, in many senses subjective and cannot be relied upon for a smooth life wherever they go. Number two, even if one thinks that we live in a society that is based on tolerance and cultured participation, I would rather want to point out that it still, is not (and will never be) any universal set of people living together, and that it’s about the size of set you choose to look upon rather than just living with your stupid protocols in your illusionary world.
For example, I would not listen to Metallica just because 4 others around me are listening to it; purchase some expensive gadgets such as apple i-Phones for no special purpose except just for its sake; or ,going on to some serious talking, even take up some career decisions by looking around the crowd and the trends around me.
For there may be another band with even more entertaining and comforting music, as it would be felt by me. Similarly, I can manage well in a moderately priced multimedia cellphone or maybe an iPod instead of the iPhone :)
And as many people would most probably (and thankfully) agree on this, some field other than that followed by the masses may be more fruitful to me.
