Putting on Text 2 of 12

Perhaps people wear texts on their clothing and skin because they believe that it expresses who they are to strangers and those around them. The human race is very concerned with the opinions of others, from the way their hair looks to how tan their skin is, there is always something that a person is concerned with on their body. So, why should it be any different for clothing? Of course people are going to try and impress with their clothing. They wear texts that appeal to them and therefore hope to attract positive attention for this. Sometimes, the text on their clothing is merely there just because they want any form of attention whether it be good or bad. It is an outcry to the public. This is also a reason that people have texts permanently inked on their bodies. They find something that they think is worthwhile; that they will want to see when they look in the mirror everyday for the rest of their lives. Sometimes, people regret this deeply and really have no good reason at all for getting those tattoos. Either way, the main idea of putting this permanent text on your body is usually to provoke the attention of those around you. Sometimes, it is a conversation starter with strangers and serves to meet new people. Other times, it is something that is actually meaningful to the wearer that no-one else would even understand. Either way, people are obsessively concerned about their outer appearance and putting on text is just another example of this. It is a way of boasting one's personality. We want to show to the outside world how we feel or what we're interested in. The emotions that we get from the texts are always different. Sometimes they are humorous and other times thoughtfully serious but they are always there to get some type of reaction.
