It's wild. Life, I mean.
I think back over the past year...year and a half or so. And I realize how much I have learned. About everything.
They say that you live and learn. Some people take that too literally. You have to do more than just live by breathing, drinking, watching. You have to experience ALL aspets of life. You have to dare to be daring. You have to do more than just go with the flow...you have to create the flow. Fight upstream, rather than just letting yourself drift away the easy way.
I don't want to be just a bystander anymore. I want to fucking live!!!
I've felt so free out here. I feel like I've been trapped for so long, and that all of a sudden, I've been alright to let go. I've been so much more aware of my surroundings, that I'm almost becoming scared.
My aunt had to leave here today...and it wasn't until we got to the car that I realized she was crying. Why was she crying? Because her mom makes her feel worthless. People in this world can be so cruel. It makes me sick. I passed a house in what you might call the ghetto of Indianapolis...and there was a dog chained to a pole in the middle of the backyard. It just sort of gimped around and I got so just...pissed off. People that apparently are not well-off, should not assume the responsibility of caring after a dog. It's so inhumane.
I wish there were more I could do in this world. "There's not much room for little people, you know?"
I have so much on my mind, it's nuts. Tomorrow is Easter. For once, I don't even care about what I might be getting.
I think I might have grown up.
