Ditch the Bandwagon

California born and raised. We add “hella” to every phrase.
“Ratchet” and “swag” is what they say, but to me all those words are the same.
“You only live once” is a philosophy, a motto
You live by these words so you can keep calm and carry on.
But for how long will the trends live on?
Shorter than the amount of time it takes to “Like” something?
Or longer than The Twilight Saga?
To me, sitting at the back of the bus does not make someone cool.
One by one the bandwagon grows,
Which makes individuality harder to show.
So ditch the bandwagon and sit at the front of the bus.
Your reflection looks a lot clearer from there.
