"People moving all the time inside a perfectly straight line, don't you wanna just curve away"

We live in a society where were expected to follow the norm. Whether it's how we dress, how we act, or how we conduct ourselves, it feels like we live in a copy cat society.  Shouldn't being different be celebrated not chastised.  The song "Strawberry Swing" by Coldplay suggests that we should be true to ourselves and that we need to make our own individual choices.  Not afraid to take risks, or stray from the path, be comfortable with who we are and that will make your life more interesting and exciting.
