Recently I came across a trailer about a story that sould be very well known to the group of peeps that like "The Fault in Our Stars". This story based on a novel written by John Green, "Paper Town".
Well I did some digging, Paper town... technically it means a place/town that does not exist but is put in maps as a way to protect each copy right. [ If you copy the maps completely, you ended up with the same paper town that obviously does not exist, thus prove that you COPY ]
Paper Town actually has quite a few concepts behind it...but the reason I write about this is not because of the love, the imagination of this perfect girl, the fake/real idea... I wanted to write about it because of a sentence I heard over the trailer: "Take a risk, stop planning so safe"
It got me thinking, what adventerous things that I have done to tell others, to make my heart beat, to maky my life interesting? I realized not much.... We have been taught since we were young that we have to obey rules and regulations to fit in to any circles in the society; to maintain peace and harmony. I do agree that rules and regulations are necessary to keep the world in order, but however I also think we are so constructed in the box that we are starting to blend in too much and lose individuality.
To be honest, things in real world are getting fake and we are actually happy about it! The actress and actors we adore so much, sometimes deep down we know that they are acting or pretending to be someone that we will like; but we just never want to admit that. The friends around us, we call them friends while actually they are just faking to be friendly and to like you. We do not want to be outcast so we try hard to ignore what's real and embrace what's fake. That is the underlying rule on the street, the 'Social Rule'.
As individual, we do not have the courage to stand out. We are obliged to the enactments made and to the social obligations. Looking from the big picture, this is actually the right situation to be in, because there cannot be peace and harmony when people are not working and tolerating each other due to strong individuality.
But that is not my final conclusion. I believe that everyone deserve to go out of the frame a little once in a while. To feel like you actually live and you actually do something that make you feel... YOU. I am lucky I have Diana by my side; whenever I decide to do something crazy or inaproppriate, I know someone is going to be punished together with me. That make me feel better and more courageous.
So my final thought is... we should find a buddy, and do something spontaneous without planning.
TEEHEE...... just some random thoughts, sorry for wasting your precious time and living moements. =D
P.S: Diana, you are in a lot of troubles next time we meet.
