Braids
I haw found that braiding hair is a fun and extremely useful form of artistic expression so I have been polishing my skill. 
Society: Your Crazy Breed
A definition of a person is never accurate. Not whenever it is given to you instead of you inferring about your own self. Society for centuries has determined how a certain person of a certain race or ethnic background should behave, appear, or speak. What role does society have on people as they try to determine who they are as a singular without inviting the plural to stay and dictate. Most of us in this world concern ourselves with originality. We strive to be ourselves without realizing its nearly impossible. What threat does society play in our development? In the clothing we wear and the foods we eat where do we find the line that determines what are actually us individually?
Not only is our stand for our style a showcase of who we are, also our manner and the way we view our station in life. Should the idea of a convenience store clerk be any less valuable than that of a high dollar banker? Do you trust ton e over the other based on their job or the idea they presented? Everyone is viewed based on their role in this world. People strive for the job that suits them for life because they know that it becomes a part of how they are viewed in this society. Everyone accepts the fact that your friends are the ones that love you for your personality, and the people who matter in society love and use you for your mind and the paper your hand holds.
Also, you come upon the issue of being surrounded by others. The social convention of this world stifles many and places them on the board with the crazies. "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment." ― Ralph Waldo Emerson. These people who do not conform are remembered for who they were and not what the era was. For example, I disdain to wear shoes most places. I wear ten anyhow do to sanitary reasons and social convention. However, what keeps them on my feet even when the cleanness of the area is not an issue is social convention. Its knowing how you would be thought of without shoes on. What is expected? We train people to expect certain things from us. I have found that I have trained my friends and those who see me most often to expect me to do the unexpected and wear certain clothing they wouldn't dare. "I try my best to be myself in public, but you cant be yourself completely because of the very fact that your in public." - John Lennon
The issue of society protruding into our lives is very evident. No one would live where they do or even act how they act in a different society. If everyone around you rides bikes, and you're the only one who runs, then you are labeled 'the runner.' This is not uncommon, and the title you are given determines what part your being you want to show the world more often depending on what they like best. I for example am 'the artist'; however, I do love to sing. The only difference is that I do not receive as much acceptance for my singing as I do my art and therefore I embraced my art much more readily as a means of knowing that society was most comfortable with seeing that part of me and I therefore more comfortable with showing it. What is accepted even in the littlest senses by society is what is chosen to show most often. Many times books incite people to read it just due to hype. "If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking." ― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood. "Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect." ― Mark Twain
