Into Everything

“I want to lose 3lbs.”

(via jackieeriksen)

The thing about people is that they all want to be part of something. Even if they say they don’t, they do. And the thing about cliques is that when you’re in one, you’re part of something. It’s much harder to be indifferent. You try and treat everyone the same, and both sides talk about you. You side with one, and the other talks about you. So what do you do? It’s nice to feel included; even if you’re only with someone because you’re against what they’re against. Strength in numbers, right?

Maybe it’s not nice. Maybe it’s easy. It might seem trivial. Who cares what other people think? In theory, but rarely in practice. And certainly not when you’re somewhere you’re contracted to be five days a week.
