while i breathe, i hope!
Music: "Now" by Caleb Engstrom
Mood: Happy

Why am I the last hopeful and happy person at school? Everyone has become these empty shells of people, like the most machine like qualities of man are magnified at school now, everyone has become so pathetically cynical and hopeless, it's like I was the only person to read "the diary of anne frank" out of my whole generation. Gabe said something to me today that really bothered me. It was something like, "Rogers was naive, to think that people are basically good, he was so stupid and naive". But I didn't say anything, I thought about it. Basically what Gabe said was a slap in the face to Anne Frank. This girl is being held prisoner by reality, eventually she is tortured and mutiliated to death, but she still has hope for humanity! This child, she writes, "Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart." To have that immense kind of wisdom, is to me beyond remarkable. And to know that people haven't known that story is really sad. Hope is so beautiful, people who are hopeless are ugly. People who have given up on someone, people who have given up on each other, people who give up on themselves, it's disgusting. It makes me sick to know that people are really like this. And you can't blame it on the weather anymore, you just can't.
-------------old salt kossabone, lay with me in leaves of grass, let the firefly bless your forehead, let the earthworm step drowsily on your wrist.--------------
