I can’t help but identify myself as someone born in the wrong time period. Vinyl records and Textbooks have taught me almost everything I know. The internet is just as mysterious to me as it was to those who embraced its creation. I’m an anachronism, an outlier completely polar opposite to those in my generation. I was born in the wrong place at the wrong time, I party for one listening to the beautiful classic rock of Aerosmith while my friends become consumed by the rap music that mainstreams our society. I live for the underground, I emerge as someone unflooded by transparency, I realm the streets as someone from the 80’s flannel shirts and acid wash jeans are my form of expression, I embrace giving random people peace signs as I walk through shopping malls. I enjoy wearing random fluorescent colored headbands and mismatched socks as I’m just a weirdo. My favorite word has always been “weird”, because no matter how someone uses this word it always means something different. I love my weirdness, I love being an anachronism, and I love to be one of the only teenagers in a vinyl record store. My weirdness is what makes me unique, a modern day hippie of sorts. I strive to embrace being weird and continue to learn more about the past, the time in which I feel I belonged.
So any suggestions?
