I have a challenge for all of you reading this.
Being alone is one of the hardest for any human being. Even at our basest level humans are a social species. For all of the known history, whether you count the bible or sciences explanation, humans have always been in groups. Our whole society is based on groups from the family unit, to sports teams to workplace associates. This is so prevelent in our society that one of the worst punishments to this day is what? Solitary Confinement.
So in our lives so centered on being with other people and always being busy. How often has anyone taken the time to be alone and just enjoy it? I mean to say not to just take some "alone time" but to really go somewhere and be alone. and enjoy it. When you try to do this you will soon realize how different and odd it really is. It will quickly occur to you as you leave the human populace behind, that this is something almost totally alien. Most can't handle it. they need to talk to people, to get gratification and praise, to be built up or broken down. In this society so based on the group and being social people have lost their true individuality. Yes, you can try to argue with me citing all your favorite bands, hobbies, clothes, group of friends, and how "non-conformist" you are. And what you would still fail to see is that even the way you define how you are a unique individual is based on groups and how really you are part of all these different groups whether you realize it or not.
There of course is nothing wrong with all this, generations of our race have come and gone just fine this way. But if you actually take the time to think about what I have just presented to you and ponder what it means. You will come to the conclusion that somewhere along the trail of your life you lost yourself. Your True self, That little kid that matched rain boots with a sombrero and a sock on one hand.
When you completely seclude yourself from the Human Experience, once you can handle the solitude, your true self will slowly start to emerge again, And all of those peer pressures that have told you whats cool. The advertisements that told you to do this, or try that. Every time you were punished for some percieved wrong, and every time you did wrong. When truly alone all this falls away, societies rules, others beliefs, And only then can you know who you are. What you truly want. How you want to spend your life. And who you want to spend your life with, WHo you truly care for , and why.
Having and relying on people is not a weakness, but letting them decide anything at all for you is. Other people are here to enhance our lives not to define them. It is important the everyone find out who they truly are and what they really want.
And once you have discovered all of this for yourself.
Everything becomes by your choice. I'll say that again, Everything is a choice you make. The choice even, to return the world, is yours.

Flipping a coin always works. Not because the coin decides for you, or the universe speaks destiny through it. But because when the coin is in the air, in that brief non-existent second, you will realize what it is you really want.
Going and spending time by yourself and actually ejoying it whether you do something or nothing, whether it be a crowded room or the vacant side of a lonely mountain. Finding who you truly are will extend that brief infintesimal second into a lifetime and all your decisions will be blessed with your true wishes.
So now I beg all of you reading this, go out into the unknown and find out who you are. Not who anyone wants you to be, but who you want you to be. And I promise your life will be better for it. Even if it is unconventional or even slightly taboo.

A warning to you though: be sure that you are ready for what you will find by doing this because there is no turning back and doing this may ruin your outlook on the world and your percieved happiness. For ignorance is bliss, but knowledge will give you true fullfillment.
Pretty self explanitory, and I stand by what I wrote. . .

This is very deep. It's so revealing about the current siety and social standings. That need for acceptance that drives so far as to pull you away from what you want to be. It's very truthful. I love it, and completely agree. Thanks for getting this out to people! I'm sure the world needed to hear it :D Excellent work! You should write like this more often. You're wonderful at it ^^
