In The Beginning

In the beginning things are simple. Take life for example. When we are born we need the following: food, shelter, air. I mean, come on, we don't even care if we crap our pants! But as time goes on, things become more complicated. We start obsessing with things like hair, clothes, money, weight. We begin asking ourselves questions such as, "Am I pretty?", "Am I smart?", and the ever popular,"Does my butt look fat in these jeans?"And here, my new friends, is the funny part...most of us don't even really care! But we think that others care. We become so fixated on what others think of us, we soon loose track of what we think of ourselves. And soon after that, we start to confuse what we need with what we want. We "need" the latest fashions, makeup to cover what we actually look like, the new ipod the "everyone" has, even the $85.00 haircut that will one day leave us looking back at the pictures and saying, "What the hell was I thinking?" What happened to the good ol' days when life was so simple?
