In the midst of all the clutter I find myself shying away from the social media world and jumping back into the real world. I’ve been on a search for real people, doing real things to “follow” (or show my support).

We bring it out for only a select few and for others we try our best to be as “normal” as possible. In 2013, weird is the new cool. If you don’t believe me then look at pop culture.
