what do you do when your exactly the same as everyone else?

What do you do? We are raised to be the same, not think too much outside the box. We are all kids trying to conform. The sad thing being; the ones who have it right, well, we all think they are crazy.
"I am an artist."
What does that mean anymore? Being a good photographer is taken for granted now because anyone can fancy themselves one. All those 12 year old wannabes on myspace think photography is the best thing ever..that is if it's taken from above, and they look hot. Everyone travels the world now, and they take a thousand photos of everything they see. There are so many beautiful things in the world, and let's face it, if the lake is pretty; the picture is going to be pretty too. I just feel sad at the lack of creativity in the world. It sucks because I want to be a great artist and I have to justify my need to study it to others around me, saying "You can do lot's with photography..I could make money".But, you know what?! I just want to study something I am passionate about. I don't give a shit where it's going to take me!
So many great artists have been known to find beauty in everything, and all I can see lately is hate and betrayal, and it disgusts me.

In this world where everyone thinks they are different, where they are really just conforming, you know what kids, IF YOU CAN NAME IT, YOU'RE NO DIFFERENT FROM ANYONE ELSE!
I'm struggling to get around in the fake place.
HEY, I'm an artist too! Look at me!
