Then again...

It is what it is....By:Zach Blasi

Life. It is what you make it and yet it is never what we want it to be. Constantly striving to make the right change yet when we think we have it all squared away, in comes the variables. Sure you have enough saved up to get a place, but then you get a flat tire. Yeah, maybe you should go and talk to that girl, but by the time you gather the guts to do it, you have stressed the idea so much you are breaking out like a 16 year old pizza face supreme. Why certainly. Go to school. For what? Hmmm. Ok. I'll do this. Loans? Grants? Job and school? Live at home? Do the dorm? Get a place, work, and go to school? What is it about us that makes so many mundane decisions anything but easy? Is it really so hard to just go for something? We thinkers. We people of the mind. We who seem cursed to overthink and overanalyze everything. We are the ones with the power to change the world we live in and yet we debate. People accept our opinions and ideas so readily because we have thought them over more than the Pope has thought about Jesus, and yet, we find the hardest task in actually conveying those very ideas to others. Is it fear of rejection in our innermost thoughts?  Have we convinced ourselves that we are so outside of the conventional that we can no longer believe our ideas are sound? Is it so farfetched to think that inside the box, people are just waiting for us to open our mouths and give them the answers? We see the look on people's faces. The look that says, "Lead me. Guide me. I don't know what is going on anymore, and I need help.". We alone hold the answers. We who believe in love. We who believe in a better world. We who not only believe, but think of ways to make it so. It is our responsibility to all of the lost souls out there, to speak up. It is easy to see how so many have lost their faith in a world with such brilliance waiting to be released, because it is easy to see that the most important people are not the ones who make change, but the ones who idealize it. We need to change. We thinkers need to become the changers.We need to work for the better. For each other.
