"Finding my #Voice"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I go to college. I have goals. I have fears. I have problems like anyone else. The funny part?

In Anonymous, none of this matters. It's a scary thought at first, that maybe no one cares about you in a group. Why would you want to join? Anonymous is made of people who see something wrong with the world around them, who have different backgrounds, different ideals, and different cultures. I can't stress enough the amazing diversity in the people I've met. But being Anonymous means none of this matters anymore: you join for the cause, much like I, or anyone else, did. We all have our reasons to fight.

"Every day – your job, the government, your addiction, your depression, your money – you feel like you can’t control the forces affecting your fate. So, you stage microrevolts. You customize your ringtone, you paint your room, you collect stamps. You choose." -- http://youarenotsosmart.com/2009/11/11/learned-helplessness/

This was my reason. Others may have more noble reasons, but it doesn't matter to me: I revolted just as much as they did. I chose to have a #voice.
