Stereotypes
Have you noticed they happen to be everywhere! Seriously everywhere you go you hear about them no matter how hard you try not to label yourself or someone else. But of course this never happens because its human nature. We all do it, regardless of whether or not it's consciously or unconsciously.
It's funny really, if you think about it. Our whole lives are based on stereotypes. It's what we all live for, thrive for, and wake for. Of all the things that could of happen, of all the girls he could of fallen for, and of all the girls he could of woke for. He chose me.
Status
Have you ever noticed that people love status!? Of course if you aren't at the top then you could really care less. Yet in a way, no matter what you want to feel, live, and become what you aren't. Typical isn't it? Of all the times you told yourself you didn't want any of it, you knew deep down you did.
It's funny really, if you think about it. Our whole lives are based on status. It's what people know, see, and do. Of course they don't realize it half the time, but if you really look at them, those people of higher status than you, you see that maybe life isn't what you thought it would be. Then again I choose it.
Appearances
Have you noticed that people take in your appearance for too much? Really, it seems that all they care about is what you're wearing, who made it, and how much it was. Money never was a serious issue for most. Not very many people could trace their blood centuries back and say how great and noble they were. You were lucky if you could remember family members that you only saw once a year.
It's funny really, if you think about it. Our whole lives are based on appearances. The first thing people ever judge you on is the first time they meet you and it stinks. No matter if you were a total klutz or a complete charmer, it will always be there. The lasting impression. Life is full of surprises and one of them, being me.
