Society Defined

Location

Often we forget from where we are originated. We let expensive items define who we are. We lose touch of the person we want to be, and turn into the person that society defined. We are no longer the kids on the block, and we can't do anything without that one shoe Cinderella once misplaced. We can't follow the person that wants to lead. We have to become the one they despise because we're always one step ahead. You were born an individual. Don't let society duplicate you. JVS always says,  "One Body Per Casket." Choose your choices in life more carefully. Don't be the one to fall behind. It's not always certain that you will get back ahead. Life isn't a playoff series. You don't get 7 chances to win. You take that 1 chance and make 6 choices. You won't win all the time. But the satisfaction of saying you never tried will be denied. When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. Don't be so bitter that you lose sight of who you are, but don't be too sweet cause people will take advantage of you. Make your life bittersweet. Be who you want to be. Do what you want to do. Don't allow society to define you. You was born into it. It was NEVER a choice.
