As mentioned previously, I've struggled with the idea of "Fitting in / Normalcy" while being "unique" at the same time.
When I take about "evolving", I refer to a person "progressing socially" and "keeping up with the times". How is this different from "keeping up with the Jones'"?
To be "up with the times" in 2010, one would be up to date with celebrity culture, technologically literate, have a Facebook account, Tweet, blog (!!). Yet so many people fit that description, how is that not simply conforming?
Our culture emphasizes being "true to oneself", self-expression, and our differences, but these differences are more similarities. My Facebook / Twitter / blog are "different" than others, but are they not all the same?
