Too Busy To Notice!

Stand out from the rest… whether you choose to be different
or just are, live your life because it is just that…
YOUR life!

One Shoe, One Slipper?

Most people are too busy with their lives to notice what other people think about them. This I find especially true in the mornings; eating breakfast at a hundred miles per hour, feeding the kids their breakfast at a hundred miles per hour, getting the bus to work, geting the train to work, stuck in a traffic jam in your car on the way to work, walking the kids to school, collecting the kids from school.

If you are like me and the above sounds a little like your routine... pause for a few moments during this cacophony of your kids telling you what they want for next Christmas, not the Christmas that is six weeks away - oh no, but the Christmas after that! Their minds are so stuffed full from adverts for "Frozen" merchandise or the crucial topic of who is the prettiest Disney princess! Pause for those few moments and breathe. Look around you at other people caught up in the same morning rush maelstrom and wonder who they are, what do they do after all this chaos subdues for a few hours?

Apart from the odd parent still dressed in pajamas or the tussle haired father who somehow has one shoe and one slipper on, does anyone care if they stand out from the crowd? Does anyone choose to be different; to express their own identity? Are we all too busy living our lives to actually live OUR lives?

Diverse Before The Hearse Arrives?

Most people do take time to dress in a way that represents them, listen to one or many genres of music from punk to trance - one that represents them, follow a particular sport that represents them - be it anything from football to scuba diving or support a certain political party that represents them. Whatever orientation, age, size, colour, or creed you are - we all have an identity and have a need to represent or be represented.

If your life is too busy to express your diversity, the years will fly by and before you know it, the last form of expression you will have is whether to be sent off in a pine or an oak casket. Perhaps you will get to have a say on the inscription on your headstone....

"Here I Lie, Too Late To Be Diverse Before The Hearse Arrived"

Be diverse! Pause to live a little... or a lot! Take the time to notice other people and their diversity - better still - celebrate it!

This topic got me thinking and inspired my latest graphic t-shirt design.
It is called "diversity" and plays on the idea of one diver expressing himself.

For Divers & Non-Divers Alike!
