And so here I am. A determined 17 year old kid with a mindset to change the world, and none of the means to do so. I'm not even sure who I am writing this to, or if anyone will read it. Only time may tell. However, as an introduction,im a guy, i play some rugby, I listen to alot of music, write some music myself, and write alot of poetry. Normal, eh? Did i mention that i was fed up with society and its insane institutions that people so blindly follow because they either 1) don't think of their actions or 2) are told to? Needless to say, my mood hasn't been one of extreme elation lately, but I'm trying. I'm going to try to post a poem every time i post. PLEASE GIVE REACTIONS TO POEMS AND BE BLUNT. A quotation that i really took to heart, from the movie Garden State,
"Hey you're alright kid. Of course you are, you're alive."
I think we all need to step back and realize just how incredible life is. It's really all we have. And so many people simply throw it away. How many people do you see daily who are, sadly, miserable? It's horrendous. We need to stop doing whatever society says we should (a.k.a. get a steady job working somewhere you dont want to be, go to school for 16 years (although knowledge should be strived for; UNBIASED knowledge...), get married, have kids, then live vicariously through them).
Love life, love yourself, and do what you love to do.
"A coward dies many times before his death"-- Shakespeare (Julius Caesar)
