Society.

One day we're all gonna have to explain to our children what these things are, and why they were so cool to us at the time.  So I'm just jumping on the bandwagon before it even starts. Call me a trend setter ;) This little post here is just to address how funny, but cool these trending things of the 2K-teens are.

1. Selfies.

We are a society obsessed with selfies. Selfie Sunday. Snapchat. Profile pictures. Mirror pics. Instagram. We all know that there is a real obsession with taking pictures of ourselves. And then what do we do? Post them so that all our friends can tell us how beautiful we are. Kinda, maybe, the most prideful thing a human could do? But no, we do it on a regular occasion. And somehow, poeple keep telling us how beautiful we are.  



I'd post selfies I've taken...but that is just too much.

2. Twerking
Mostly hilarious. And I wish I could do it.
Jealous of you big booty hoes out there.
You know who you are.

3. Likes

Everytime you post a picture you are hoping to break record, reaching a new PR on likes. It takes time to think of a clever caption, decent hashtags, and the best filter. Plus, there is a real serious joy when a photo hits the triple digits. And that is kinda funny.

4. Hashtags

My Dad just jumped on this bandwagon today. And what an odd bandwagon it is. But also, hysterical when properly used. I still struggle with the concept of why you throw down hashtags in your posts, but I do it.  How often do I even click on those hastags to see what others are posting under the same ones? Never in my life.



5. This Haircut.

I can already hear myself defending this one:

"Because it was in style!"
"Yes we liked boys with it. We thought it was cute."
"Back then, we didnt think it looked like they had an ocean wave on top of their heads"




6. Fear of gluten.
Okay I am someone who is allergic to gluten, and therefore can't legitametly endulge in it. Which makes me sad on a daily basis.


BUT, there are many people who choose to avoid gluten for health benefits.  I am insanely passionate about nutrition, and recognize the GMO's, and dangers of modified wheat. Its just so funny to me that there is a real FEAR of eating gluten. It's not the protien that causes the problem...it might just be the way you are eating.



7. Cats.
Why all of a sudden did everything cats become so normal and cool and taking over the world?
Nothing against them...but just why did it happen?

So...future little of mine...I am just as confused as you are about the odd ball trends going on in the world today. I'm sorry I couldnt be more help. 

But what I do have to say is that I'm happy being alive today. Even if there are 7 selfies on my instragram feed right in a row, #mancrushmonday, or if people wear cat shirts everyday. I love this life I'm living, and I am beyond grateful for the people in it. If they want to rock the Macklemore, more power to them. 


And yes, I really do wish I could twerk.
