A rebel isn’t someone covered in tattoos and piercings, who says scandalous things for shock value, or does drugs to prove a point... There is a world of difference between being a rebel and acting like one, it goes way deeper than head banging to rock and roll, and screaming your lungs out at someone you don’t agree with... It demands that you toe your own line, because there’s no one to shoulder the blame... Rebels don’t enjoy the safety of the herd, they often don’t have the backing of society, law or even family... You get lost, you get found, you seek, you find... There is no one to answer your questions, but there are millions who’ll question your choices... You don’t know where you are, or where you are heading, all you know is that you have to take that next step and find out for yourself... Rebels are labeled a variety of things, insane, unbalanced, reckless, foolish, impractical, which is why a rebel usually doesn’t have too many friends...These are the people who look into the mirror and like what they see, even the unsightly and uncomfortable bits... They are the ones who lie on their deathbed with fewer regrets in their heart...They aren’t ones to learn from other people’s mistakes, or for that matter, even their own, they’ll even make the same mistake twice just to see how it goes the second time... They fail a lot and fall a lot, over and over again, but in that rare moment when they don’t, magic is discovered... The extraordinary happens... Something wonderful is created and the world becomes a slightly better place to live in...
