My Quest To Be Relevant

May we all be like Kimye.

My Quest To Be Relevant

Ever since I graduated high school in 2012, I've come across an issue that really should't be an issue.

That issue is that I am no longer relevant.

Whether it be on social media or through my friends, I find myself constantly up to to date on the issues surrounding the United States and Hollywood. But there comes a point that I feel that no one is really listening to what I have to say...or tweet...or anything really.

What is it with ourselves trying to be popular?

Girl posting butts on instagram for a like and a follow, and on twitter a fellow foodie just wanting some nuggets from Wendy's. That last one made headlines across the globe for some reason. Just because of chicken nuggets..Ladies and Gentleman, I have a problem.

I've always wanted to be one of those social media influencers with thousands of followers and millions of subscribers on a youtube channel. But, that hasn't happened yet. No, I haven't had the confidence or whatever to make videos or post original thoughts on twitter, but when I do, no one really...cares.

Yeah thats the word. Why, you ask? Well, maybe you're thinking that he doesn't have enough active followers that tweet or etcetera. No, I do, but when it comes to that, people just really don't care what others have to say. I am that type of person that is more like a background character in a movie, that doesn't really talk or do anything of importance. I am the one of the few that really don't care to make such a fuss, besides writing this article. I'm no Kanye West or Carter Wilkerson of Chicken nugget fame, no.

I am Austin freaking Williams of Rochester.

Ny fame. I love pizza, taking photos and being a generally nice human being. I don't really care for the follows that I get or the subscribers I will get once I start up my youtube channel again. I have a life outside of this kitten photo obsessed place we call the internet.

I will always be relevant to myself, my family and my significant other.

No one can take that away from me.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
