~:[CH8 - Day 32]:~  POP 

Pop Culture is defined by what is style or trend among the younger generations. Obviously, these trends change over time and over generations, but the interesting thing about pop culture is that it's not popular when it first starts up and even at times, it's resisted. I think within our own lives, we are so narrow-minded that we do not see all the possibilities available to us, sometimes leaving ourselves at a disadvantage. On a day where we ventured up a structure of the World's Fair in Seattle, were in awe through the spectacular pieces of glass, and enthralled with all that was included in MoPoP, we discovered a number of things that were resisted and even protested. Some could not see the entertainment value in horror or horror, neither could they accept certain genres of music. The narrow-mindedness almost kept us from some of the most incredible art within our culture, however, it was the artists who kept pushing through, never allowing their doubters to deter them. That's just it! We must take those steps to better ourselves by not allowing ourselves to be deterred. Even if it's not popular at the moment, you must take the small steps to make it be seen and heart. Our lives are like pop culture as we face the challenges of being ourselves as we find ourselves and seek out what our lives means. Those around us may not be accepting (or we may not be accepting of others), but hopefully we understand that it is pushing our boundaries that we find ourselves while discovering something that may eventually take the world by storm. Who knows if a breakthrough is on the horizon, however, regardless, it is up to you in order to decide where your road leads, as you search for that component of pop culture within our own lives that really only has to be popular with one other person and that is ourselves. Be confident in your abilities!
