The other day, you see, I was thinking about how people are similar to ants. ‘Oh my god! What a normal person!’ I hear you shout? And, no I’m not, but hear me out. In today’s work/school driven lifestyle. We are very much like ants. We leave early, come home late, and work ‘for the greater good of the community.’ So do ants. They get up early, and work, ‘for the good of the community.’ Now do you see my imaginary train of thought?

‘But I don’t want to be an ant!’ I hear you think aloud to yourselves? The only way not to be an ant is so simple. Don’t Conform. Start with the small things, imperfections slowly growing so no-one notices until it’s too late, someone says ‘arrive at 7:30′ arrive at eight. They say eight; you arrive at 8:30. They say 6:00 tell them to fuck off ‘cos it’s too early.

‘We don’t want to conform to their reality.’
