What Sonia Says?

     "What does Sonia say?" What an excellent question that I personally have been struggling to answer. Recently, I've been contemplating writing a blog. I thought it would be cool and refreshing to share my thoughts, opinions, and ideas with the world.  Sadly, the fear of having an epic fail of a blog was constantly running through my mind. I had no idea what exactly I wanted to blog about, and the thought of people judging my lame blog topic ideas and my multiple grammar mistakes was stopping me from actually trying this new hobby. This brought me to the idea, why do we, as a society, care so much about what other people think?
     If I want to blog, then I'm going to blog. If you don't like it, then don't read it. If you think I'm lame for writing a blog, well then you're lame for reading one. A new friend that I've recently started to hang out with is teaching me the art of not giving a crap. Yes that is right world I, Sonia Foroudastan, am learning to actually not care about what other people think of me, and just enjoying my life. The fact that this is a life lesson I have to learn at 18 years of age is quite sad. I may sound pathetic, but guess what, you probably need it too.
     But real talk here, why do you care what the person next to you is thinking about you? This fear of social acceptance into the "norm" of society is quite sad. If everyone in the world cared about what others thought, well then life would be so boring and bland. The funniest people are the ones that are slightly weird. The most interesting people are the ones with the most unique hobbies and life experiences.
     World, get ready for the new Sonia, the one who does not give a crap. From now on, you will be able to read the voice of a spunky bubbly college student as she tries to figure out this thing we call life.

  1. BRAVO on your first entry! :)

    Unfortunately too many people never really learn to stop caring about what others think, so congrats on learning it as early as 18!

    Your post made me think of my favorite quote from The Breakfast Club: "We're all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it, that's all." Such a shame when people try and hide all the fun parts of themselves…
