How come if I don't read books I automatically become less intelligent in the eyes of many people? How come we are living in the most democratic and liberal society ever, but we keep judging people and imposing our truth on them?
I was never into the books. As you can see, I walked into a museum with flip-flops. It is not like I am proud of it... but I am. I mean, it was a long time ago, and I remember that it was damn hot in Mexico that day for me to walk with proper shoes. So where were we? Oh yeah, books.
I am good at pretending and I could easily talk about a book I never read. But I don't want to do that. At this moment I am proud of not reading and watching The Office instead (freaking hilarious). That said, tomorrow when I'll start reading a new book (not going to happen) I'll be proud of myself again. Why? Let me tell you a secret. It is not about the books. It is not about anything else as well.
There is too much stuff to do in this world for us to even process it in our minds, not to mention trying it. I am sad seeing people who pretend that they did it all and been everywhere just because they think it might impress others. It just looks lame. I enjoy myself whatever I do. Life is easier this way. After all, we are all lazy bastards, who find excuses not to do stuff. So why lie to ourselves?
I have never been a fan of reading books and it doesn't make me stupid. My inadequate decisions do.
I have never been a fan of drinking and it doesn't make me lame... oh, wait... It does, doesn't it?
I have never been a fan of suit & tie and it doesn't make me unprofessional. My incompetences do.
I have never been a fan of guns, cars, and rock'n'roll and it doesn't make me girlish. My sensitive soul... well, it doesn't make me girlish as well. But you get the point.
Most importantly I have never been a fan of pretending to be someone else. And you know what? Screw everything else.
So I wish we all keep on doing things we like to do** without fears or constraints, which we only cast on ourselves. Life is much funnier this way.
