To me, the word ‘trend’ means ‘followers’. Being a follower in my book has never been cool. It just signifies people who have no thoughts of their own.
It also means ‘current’. And being ‘current’ means it’s already happened. It’s over. It’s done.
The best way to try to avoid being dated, is by not following trends.
And the best way of doing that, is by being yourself. Because no one else in the world is better at being you, than you are.
