i find it funny that for guys, collar shirts are dressier, but for girls they're considered casual.

question post

yes, you should work at your friendships (the close ones. the ones with the people you'd call your best friends.) and try to develop or even just maintain them, but when does it become working too hard? 

if you're having to exert a lot of effort to keep the friendship on good terms (or alive at all), is the relationship worth it? 

shouldn't truly close friends not have to try hard and not have to be careful what they say or do (within reason, of course), and still know that they will love each other (and almost more specifically like each other) unconditionally and without judgement?

you shouldn't have to be afraid that your chum will look down on or criticize you...right?

Yes, I am aware that the first part of the first sentence sounds like a movie trailer.

What would it be like to live in a world where the only person who formed your opinion was yourself? Think about it. Every single thought that you have, every like or dislike, and every decision that you make is somehow biased or shaped by someone else. 


What if we lived in our own little bubbles, and weren't affected by anyone or anything but the own creativity and originality of our own minds.


How would it affect our individual fashion styles? Our music tastes, our food tastes? 


I mean, seriously, who decided that raw fish eggs are a delicacy, and that extremely distorted guitars, static, and screaming lyrics sound good and therefore should have an entire following just to themselves?


It's interesting to ponder. Would you really wear that outfit if you weren't considering how other people would view it, and by extension, you?
