I have no idea what that phrase means. Or, what it solidifies. The New York Times posted an article sometime during August about the problem (?) with 20-somethings. I clicked on the article thinking it would be enlightening. Truth be told I didn't make it 3/4 of the way down the first page and I don't think I'll ever finish. I don't want to. I don't want to waste my time. Upon "reading" the article it did strike me that, I am a 20 year old and no where near traditional. But that's the point. Why do these statistic freaks think we're going to fall into the pattern of time. We've all seen our parents work 9 to 5's. Doing something they're 20-something self would never think of doing. Settling.
Settling into a state where they're so tired from working all the time. That they wouldn't dare protest or question anything. Working at a job where they get know say. Do as your told.
Have you ever asked an elder what they're dream in life was?
Do it, it may be the saddest story you'll ever hear.
But, it might be the only motivation you'll ever need.
The biggest excitement in your life is brought to you by your television set or constant status changes.
Living vicariously through someone else's life.
I don't know what's going on.
But, I do know that I can't settle.
I never have.
That kind of shit is for robots.
We're all too creative for all that anyway.
Sitting, watching, waiting.
A change is well on it's way.
Lead by artists of all kinds.
Writers of sorts.
Those damn rebel kids.
It's simple.
If you don't want an ordinary future.
Don't live ordinarily.
history isn't made by the mundane
