"This fall I think you're riding for-it's a special kind of fall, a horrible kind. The man falling isn't permitted to feel or hear himself hit bottom. He just keeps falling and falling. The whole arrangement's designed for men who, at some time or other in their lives, were looking for something their own environment couldn't supply them with. Or they thought their own environment couldn't supply them with. So they gave up looking. They gave it up before they ever got started"----The Catcher In The Rye
So today this is the only thing I could think of, nothing else. I think it somewhat describes me, and I can see it getting worse everyday. I really don't want to end up like Holden who doesn't even know what he wants to do in his life. I wish I wasn't like the fish, but the ducks. The ducks that can leave when things start to frezze over, but I can't. I'm stuck here, for better or worse, for everyday until I'm old enough to go of to college, or just to the point I get the nerve up to be like a duck. I think this book has been getting to me to much. I've been totally ignoring all of my classes and reading it. It's to the point where I don't know why I even stick around here. What do I have going for me here? Nothing, nothing at all. I think I seriously need a change of scenery.
