"Society doesn't make us feel good about ourselves." ~ Tuesdays with Morrie.

Since I know this is true, then why do I still feel as though there is more to do, to be, to think, to get, to lose... you get the picture.  We are never enough, tall enough, thin enough, not organic enough, to much fat, not enough time, to much time, to much traffic, not enough spice, not romantic enough, not polite, to much glam, not enough glitter.  Wow... a world where we are never enough or we are to much.  Nothing can be just right.  MacDonalds, Starbucks, Johnson and Johnson, Coke, American Eagle, Vogue.. all companies that feed on us not being enough so we need them to feel better about our selves.  I will eat my way to happiness, then I need a latte to be like others. Then it's time to wash and clean with the right products so that my skin is feeling soft and smooth.  Hold on a second, but I need that Coke (another one), not because my friends drink coke (like back in high school), but because I am addicted to Coke.  Then,  have to wear the brand name so I am someone.  And, while I have that skinny latte, I want to be seen in the coffee shop, with my cool friends, reading a magazine that will make me feel like shit, so then I have to eat the burger to feel better, find more clothes to satisfy the crowd and purchase the latest and greatest cell phone so I can connect with all my 845 friends all the time through likeing, tweeting and pinning.

Society does nothing to make me feel good about my self.  And, now that society has me, it works even harder to make me feel worse so that I keep buying and medicating my self to happiness.

Well folks, I am done!!!!!  

More to come....
