Every day, you have a normal series of tasks to complete. You have to shit, eat, commute, etc. We are all the same. We all have access to the same facilities. We all walk on streets. We all travel through airports. We all go to our local grocery store/everything-store to get what we need to stay alive.

While this process sometimes makes me feel less unique, I am sometimes reminded that there's more to life than mainstream sustainability. Unique snowflakes like the one pictured above remind us that there is a plane of authenticity which exists that we should all be pursuing. While the constraints of society have 'shackled our metaphorical arms', it does not mean that we should resign our individuality over to Fortune 500 companies.

The pictured alt lives in the same society that I do, but he is bold. He is different. He sees the world in a different way, and he is not afraid. So while poop does fall out of his butt just like every1 else, he is not afraid to let things mean something.

There's nothing wrong with meaning meaning.
I want to be an authentic alt in a mainstream society.
I will not let society bring me down.
