Maybe I’m here for the all right reasons or maybe I’m here for all the wrong. Regardless, I know the following statement is true: We are both human beings made of flesh and bone. This biological trait defines us together as one, but as humans we often tend to stand alone. While standing alone, we often lose our way. Instead of embracing our uniqueness, we embrace conformity and compromise. We lose our identity and become overly compliant to societal norms. When that happens, are we even still human or are we just a well-oiled machine? Don’t you see why we need to stick together? As humans, we need to work together, live together, and be together. Specifically, as Millennials, working together is crucial to our survival -- just like those overpriced coffee drinks we can’t seem to live without.
My name is Adam and I am a 20-something from the Greater Atlanta Area. I recently graduated from Emmanuel College this past May and I am proud to be the editor in chief for this Odyssey group. I want this page to be a place for creativity, self-expression, and honesty. I choose to write for Odyssey because I’m tired of being silent. I write to make a stand and shed light on today’s social injustices. I write to crush normative stereotypes and strive to promote body positivity, specifically male/masculine self-image. I write to empower fellow millennial to be unique and stop chasing after other's standards and expectations. Follow your dreams. Follow your heart. Follow your own path.
Together as one, we can make a lasting difference. In fact, we can be the difference. I write because I am human and so are you. Let’s create something beautiful together.
Cheers,
Adam George
