The American Dream used to be something. It used to be about having a family, having freedom, having something outside of materialistic property, something outside of the “ordinary”. Nowadays, there is no American dream, the dream is dead and very few people dream at all. Everything is on a rapid decline because society says you can’t do anything and laughs and spits in the face of the believer until they give up and quit on themselves.
Everybody these days just wants the money. They want to be able to go out and buy things. We live by this rule of “Don’t touch my shit, I won’t take your shit either”. We hoard little things because we believe happiness is bought in a box at a store. IT’S NOT.
Studies have shown that experiences will make you happier than materialistic goods, yet people would rather sit on their couches on Facebook or Twitter or Instagram and talk about their boring lives and read about the lives of other people. WHO CARES ABOUT WHAT ARE PEOPLE ARE DOING?! You are your own person. Get out and do something with your life. Ask yourself, what is something I have always wanted to do? Go do it. How can I better myself? Go do it. Even if it is a work in progress, a slow transition, just start. At least you are one person who is actually doing something with your life or even with your day.
The American population is becoming a sad, depressing, STUPID race because everyone sits inside rotting on our smartphones and watching TV, sitting online, not using our brains anymore. We scroll through useless information about what other people ate for lunch, how much their day sucks, why they hate the government, how much they love their family, or look at 9,000,000,000,000,000,000 pictures of the same person doing the same pose in the same place and we don’t even care about (and we all know they posted it because their confidence is in the shit hole, they just want to hear how fucking beautiful they look for reassurance and everyone keeps liking it anyway).
We as a country, and only together, can actually become a country with a dream again. We can better ourselves together. We can rise up, get out of this debt and actually live and be HAPPY once again. We can be FREE and actually mean it when we say it.
It all starts simply with believing in each other. Supporting each other. Then getting off our asses and doing something about it. Yes, spend some time online still, give yourself some relaxation, but not all day. Go outside, go for a walk, go randomly watch a little league game and cheer some kids on because they are the future and it means the world to them. Go build a house with Habitat for Humanity. Go paint your house. Walk your dog. Take your family to the park., just take your life back before your gone.
Take the American dream back. Bring it back before we erase it for good.
