In to the wild

Yesterday I was having a pretty low day, I can admit that quite openly acutally. Everything that was going right just seemed to be going wrong. It was one of those moments where it wasn't like everything HAD gone wrong, I was just seeing everything wrong. Everything annoyed me. Everything was there. Everything was.... wrong.  I confided in a friend of mine who I had met recently but he has soon become a very close friend of mine, about how I didn't know what was worth the fight anymore and what wasn't. I didn't know what I wanted. If I should leave education or if I should carry on down this path.
If I should go for it, close my eyes and never look back or if I should realise that i'm only going to get hurt and move on.

And he told me to watch "Into the wild"

It's a real life story based on a young man who decided to leave his life of luxury and divulge into the life of the wild. To travel, to live and to eat as our ancestors did. To leave "our world", which has bound us by social construct and a judging society and live the simple life. To find truth. To find one's self. To find freedom.

I shant spoil the film so if you haven't seen you should click on your iTunes and get it now! Or get down to your local book store and see if they have a copy of the book in there. It will change your view on life. Have you ever done something because everyone else has done it? Because, even without your own questioning of it, it's just the "right" thing to do. Like go to university, go out clubbing, laugh at a joke that isn't funny because everyone else is doing it. This film reminded me of a quote I heard that went something like "Once in a while it hits people that they do not have to experience the world they have been taught to".

We don't need money
We don't need a lot of belongings
We don't need a big career
We don't need a perfect family
We don't need millions of friends
We don't need to follow the "norm"
We don't need to follow advice
We don't need to date as many people as possible to find the one
We don't need to be in love
We don't need sex

We don't need anything but good health, good will and a few special people to share it with. So next time you do something I dare you to think about the reasons your doing it and if it will fulfil your life in the way you want it too or if your doing it because society has told you this is how people like us live.

There are no people like us

There's only one person like you.


Just something to think about
