i ride this bus and realize i know what it means to be young. to be a young girl that loves love. to love the romanticism in songs and to search for the meaning in otherwise meaningless things. i know a boy that loves me and i feel special anytime he touches me. im a young girl and i stress over minuscule situations. im a young girl; that means i can ride this bus and look out the window and find another meaning. i looked out this window and thanked God i was young enough to have this power. that life has not taken it away from me. my mind has not been raped with experiences of unfairness. there's still time for me. i can still take advantage of my youth. im not old and i relish in the fact that i am loved, and that i love. it makes me so happy to know im here. i see people everyday. and i think everyone is pretty.
im young, and my friends are young, but we wont be young much longer. we're all going to be separated and misplaced. and the next time we'll see each other will be at our twenty fifth high school reunion. but im young now, and i should take advantage of that. i love being young, having no real worries. my parents are still alive. and i dont hug them enough. every bus ride i take i feel a little bit older. and a little bit dumber. im ashamed of all the time ive wasted not being young. acting old.
i should hug my friends everyday. and kiss my parents' cheeks every night. and love my first love as much as possible. because our future together is the most unclear. i miss him everyday i dont see him. things changed. things got worse. and now they're better. it's tough being young sometimes. i want to not worry about anything and not take things so seriously and forget the drama and just love the moment. but at the same time i cant help but worry about the future.
i just wanna shake people and slap them across the face because i am so angry at how stupidly they have treated these precious years. but how do you live in the moment so care-free and at the same time be conscious of the consequences. that, my friend, is the true proof of maturity. and i strive toward it everyday. so i ride this bus, and congratulate myself on these thoughts. i love learning new things.
