Following the trends blindly!!

In the contemporary modern world, a plethora of fads are revolving around the world at a high pace. It seems so very necessary to go by the trend these days and if you don’t, you feel cut off from the world and don’t feel connected to the latter. We feel that following the ‘in’ thing makes us feel closer towards the world. But if it costs you trading your authentic self for some uncanny trend which you aren’t particularly a fan of, is it worth it? Of course, it is absolutely a paltry scheme to make yourself known to the world by simply imitating what others are crazing over. It’s perturbing and sometimes very funny to see middle-aged people going bonkers over some stupid fiddle faddle that has bizarrely grown popular. Funny because it is ironic that they proclaim themselves as adults who are actually doing childish and naïve things. Perturbing because they are setting a wrong example for the successive generations.

I have the notion that personal choice takes a backseat while complying the trends. Not only this, but also that it makes you turn a blind eye from your needs which should be ideally your priorities. For instance, you need a new phone as your phone has been functioning very slowly. However, you happen to buy a ring light just because it is in vogue and everybody has it. This can make you go off the rails and you tend to live life on the edge. Most importantly, it demolishes you and your unique identity because you irrationally begin to go by the trends not realizing if you actually like them or not. It may give you a brief period of solace but in the long run, all the efforts go in vain and you reach nowhere at the top but at the bottom in hell.

Subsequently, following the fads is only creating a vicious cycle. So, folks, wake up and be your-cute-self, carry yourself with an air of self-respect, become a pioneer and let the world follow you!
