Trends.

No, not the thing on twitter that so many users aspire towards. I mean the general direction in which something is developing or changing. This “something” could be anything really; fashion, hairstyles, mannerisms, slang – anything.

So what about them? Sometimes trends are positive, like when they brought midi skirts back into vogue and it became ‘cool’ to dress modestly:

But at other times, they are not so good. Using illegal drugs, fornication… the list is endless.

My point: Deciding which trend to follow is vital. It’s not everything you see in a magazine or on Bella Naija’s fashion articles that you have to emulate. Learn to streamline the way you live and only pick up positive influences.

You don’t have to fit in.
