I graduated high school three and a half years ago.
I'm 21 years old. Nowadays, I'm in something called "the real world". There's people who seems to think they are, and it's funny, in that sad way.
I'm so sick of the words "fake", "poser" and the like being thrown around, especially by those who really shouldn't be pointing the finger.
Back to that high school statement... I have real issues to worry about now. I have an aunt in a coma, possibly on her death bed. And on the other hand, a person that's been out of my life for a year or more now... thinks that I give a shit who she's opening her legs to? And THAT'S coming from someone that thought the idea of giving it up before marriage was shifty. Maybe a year ago, I'd be phased. But now... I really don't care about the sex life of a person that almost ruined my life. Almost.
And now it's such a big deal, huh, to be a vegetarian? And to be in a band? I know for a fact that the line of vegetarianism that I'm referring to started with me. And some of these people wouldn't be playing in the bands they're in if not for me. But yet, no respect gets shown. That's fine. It's more satisfying to see people fooling themselves.
I spent years feeling sorry for myself, and then I did something about it. I changed my outlook on life, and I turned it around. I'm actually able to stop and enjoy things. I killed the demons, and I beat depression. I did something that few can even bring themselves to attempt. The next mountain for me to climb... is finish my Mathematics degree. Nothing too far fetched.
Now... I hafta ask. Why are you still so bothered by it all? Is it because I'm not?
