Like many things that are sick and twisted in 2016, why is the feeling of giving a shit one of them? Since when did caring become something that we shouldn't do in fear of appearing weak or desperate?
I know that personally; caring about others feelings, opinions, and well being comes second nature to me. I can't help but simply care, and that should never, ever, ever be considered a bad thing.
It almost feels "trendy" to just not give a flying hoot anymore. We all have feelings, and we all care so much about the things we claim to not care about. Why do we do that? If you give a shit, make it known. It doesn't make you crazy or out of the ordinary, it simply makes you human.
I think having the natural instinct to care about others is really really awesome. I know I would rather be surrounded by and friends with a handful of caring people than surrounded by a volume of people that don't have my best interests at heart.
At some point, caring about people and expressing those thoughts has to come back in style. And if not today, let it be tomorrow. Enough of this too cool for school attitude where it's only okay to express that you care when it becomes detrimental. Like it or not, we are all more sensitive than we make ourselves out to be. That my friend, is what makes us human.
I have always toyed around with the thought of "if you want something to happen, make it happen" and "if it is meant to be, it will be". When you think about those two sayings they are oxymorons of one another. They all stem from the same root, and that is caring enough about those things in your life to go out and make them happen.
When I really think about it, a lot of things in my life wouldn't have happened if I didn't make the first move or went out and made them happen. Think about this in relation to your own life. If I was still sitting and waiting on the world to change as my man John Mayer would say, I would probably be very disappointed.
Depending on who is reading this.. you may relate this to a guy, a friend, or just a situation you are currently dealing with. There may be a guy in your life that you genuinely care about but are too afraid to tell that to. Don't be. It doesn't mean you want to be in a relationship with them, or you are nutty for feeling this way, it just means you are a badass biotch who feels comfortable enough in your own skin to express the fact that you care about that person! My advice to you is.. let it be known that you care. Caring is cool, and showing that you care is even cooler. You may be the leader of the pack with this one, or at least right now but hey maybe you'll open up someone else's eyes.
