Apparently, people think I'm "wack". I honestly don't care, but you know when your best friend tells you that your a very not cool person & that she never was your best friend, it gets you down. But I've learned from the mistakes of my past. I'll learn from this one. Friends come & go. Unfortunately, so will best friends. But I'm done with pretending so that maybe people will like me this time. I'm done trying to get people to like me. Either you like me or you don't. I'm gonna be the person I always used to be before trying to comform. I really am tired. Not just tired tired , but tried of everybody. This world we live in is a cruel, manipulative, cold world. & if you don't eat, you're eaten. Which is kind of a cruel way of talking about our world, but it's true in more ways than one. I'm honestly not caring anymore about the opinions of other people. I'm not the most liked person around. To be frank, probably half of Sunset hates me. But to be quite honest, too, I don't give a shit anymore. People will have their own opinions on me & if they can't accept me for who I am, then they really don't deserve to be my friend. So, here's to the backstabbers & the drama that shapes us all somehow. Here's to the girls & the boys who bring us closer to our own self confidence. Here's to the crowds who rejected us; without them, we wouldn't have found out who we really were. So, for the first time in my life, I'm happy & excited about where life is going to take me. I don't need little immature girls, I don't need the drama that surrounds me, but I'm glad for it. It makes me a better person inside most of the time.
A little advice : if you have peace inside of you, hold on tight & never let go. Because there will come a time when you wish for that peace when you don't have it. The words of my friend, "I don't wear the peace sign as a fashion statement; I wear it because of what it symbolizes." Or something like that. I've done a lot of things that I am not proud of, I admit, but for each & every bad thing that happened, I got my own form of consequence. I got what I deserved, & I believe that for once, I deserve an ounce of peace. So, let's hope that I find that. & I hope whoever reads this will find that peace isn't just a fashion statement anymore.
