Did you read the news today?  Did you know that people who curse a lot are smarter than the rest of the world?  And are you aware of the 10 tips that every successful person does that you probably aren’t doing?  What about the latest trends? Have you seen your eyebrows lately?!  If you haven’t then….Don’t look!

With the overload of information the internet has provided us it is so easy to get caught up in whatever your Facebook feed is selling you today.  Or maybe it is your local news or the ridiculous amounts of choices we have at the grocery store with every marketing ploy to tell us what is really good for us.  But let me fill you in on a secret, none of that is making you wiser.

Our world is full of contradictions.  If you were to clip out and save every Huffington Post article, marketing campaign and celebrity opinion you would have something like this:

Take your time.  Just do it!

Don’t be so naive.  You are too cynical.

Be more open!  Don’t be so emotional.

Love to the fullest!  Don’t fall too fast.

I’ve spent a lot more time alone in recent years and one thing you know you can always count on are your thoughts.  Us humans come with our own amazing devices such as instincts and conscience. Those devices, however, fade over time and are instead filled with preconceived ideas from outside sources. But something very interesting happens when you reject mainstream society and actually listen to your own thoughts.  You realize that you know more than you ever thought you had.  And you know that you know.  You know what is right, because if you are good you will always be right.  And good doesn’t come from liking the post that manipulates you into thinking you are a horrible person if you don’t.  It comes from liking who you are and being confident enough to believe in your self.  And maybe if we all stripped down to this notion that we can believe in ourselves, we can begin to believe in humanity again.

So stop reading my blog and no you can’t eat an avocado seed.  Cosmo won’t tell you how to have better sex and your horoscope isn’t right.  Just go and be human, if only you can remember how.
