Keep Austin Weird


So while I'm in Austin visiting my BFF, I've started to notice just how creative of a city Austin is. Walking around "the Drag" as UT students like to call it, I saw so many different personality types it's hard to fit them all on here. We saw hippies chanting songs while strumming a guitar, girls smoking in the shade, clad in size double zero jeans and barely there t-shirts trying to look like they didn't give a F*#@ about life. You saw the clean-shaven and conservative businessmen rushing to get a sandwich during their lunch break, and then you saw the sea of UT students donning the traditional burnt orange shirts.
With all these different people it's no wonder Austin is home to some of the most creative people in today's working word. These people have no limits when it comes to expressing themselves - they are happy with who they are and aren't afraid to express it.
I think in order for a person to be creative they have to have a free outlet to express their creativity. In Austin, people can act, dress, talk however they want and not be judged for it. With this freedom, an individual's creativity emerges, providing to the expanding creative population of the city.
