New Generation.

Many of us are different people in front of different cliques and types of people. For example, in front of school friends, you're like this emo kid, but in front of other friends, you're perpectually hyped. Or something like that. But then, have you ever stopped to think - which one is the real you?

These put-on personalities will be alternating so much that in the end, they become a part of you. Yeah, like leeches. Slowly, they just slowly attach themselves to you. Or like blu-tack - the longer you leave it there, the stronger it sticks.

Thus the same applies to these put-on personalities. No, they're not exactly facades, since facades are usually covering something up, like an ugly front. But in the end, when the put-on personalities become a part of you, how do you tell which is really you? How can you differentiate?

The whole chunk of arguement above was extracted from a person that I came across recently. I never once thought a secondary one student could choose to think in such a way; factoring in the way friends and cliquse nowadays in school influences into consideration. I am simply amazed by how she articulates her thoughts and expresses it.

On one hand, this might be a thorn in the flesh on how to reach out to people because of the constant struggle to be relevant to her age group, on the other, it just simply marked a dino footprint of what was said

"The church of God will grow from glory. To glory".
