I usually don't follow the trends.
If you do a search for trends, you'll see them everywhere, so the issues I'm concerned with on a daily basis should overlap occasionally.
And they do. I just don't pay attention to them.
So my life and trendlines would be like city streets that intersect with a railroad.
I know they're there, and I see them sometimes.
I even come in contact with them from time to time, but I don't drive down the railroad. And I don't follow trends that closely, either.
