We’ve become a society so deeply entrenched in voyeurism that we’ve managed to obliterate any lines of privacy, decency, and personal space. It’s disturbing and frankly, a little confusing. The standard for how much, when, why we choose to share pieces of ourselves now has to meet with the approval of people you don’t even know or care about you.

We have no respect for how other people live and the choices they make. You don’t have to agree, but what’s wrong with allowing people to live their lives according to their standards? Why do we feel so bothered by people who’ve chosen not to live every moment of their lives out loud for the masses?

We’re a society of group thinking and group norms. There is no such thing as singular or individualism. Either you acquiesce to group norms or face persona non grata. It’s a world with boundaries that don’t exist. It’s a be violated and be happy about it mentality.

*Le sigh*

I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m ready for a place in the middle of nowhere. I’m ready to walk away from the madness that is part of our popular culture and our inability to draw lines, only to have them erased by zealots. I’m ready for a time and a place where I can look out of my proverbial window and not see my neighbors house closer to mine, than mine is to his. Ponder that!

I’m going to lie in the sun for a minute 🙂
