"So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun." — Christopher McCandless, Into the Wild, p. 56
Maybe I'm just tired lately of people complaining about their lives when in reality they have every opportunity to do something about it. You don't like it? Then change it, seriously, and if you aren't willing to do anything about your life at least admit that its because you're scared and stop complaining about it. Yes, change is scary, and life is terrifying but I think its scarier and much more sad to live a life of complacency. If you find yourself unhappy with the life you're living, I hope you have the courage to change it.
I realize this post has basically nothing to do with fashion.. oi vey. I wore this outfit to work the other day, I'm clearly really into the uptight, hudderite look these days. rawr.
