Live Journal Emo
As you probably noticed, I haven't updated my lj in ages. And I've decided not to start back up again. I just went through my friends page and read all the entries. Every single one is "oh woe is me, my life sucks, i wish i would just die" with like 50 comments saying "it's okay, it'll all get better". Very repetitive.
Well guess what? It won't get better. The only way for your life to improve is for you to want it to improve. If you constantly live in a dark hole and never try to climb out, you won't ever see the light of day again. Living in an emo world, no matter how many lj users post optimistic comments, you'll see the attention you get for it and just want to post more emo. You may call me an ass for saying this, but I feel that if you are feeling depressed and truly want to be happy, you have to full heartedly try.
Heh, I've never been depressed before, so you might say "oh, but you don't know what it's like". Well if you take every small thing that happens so seriously, sure you'll get depressed. Then you can open you 17 year old eyes and realize you're still in high school, the world isn't going to end tomorrow (you still have a lifetime of monotonous patterns and a deadend job ahead for another 60 years... kidding). Did you know suicide is the number 9 killer of americans? That's just dumb. There is absolutely NOTHING that could happen that can't be fixed. Sure it might take some time, but suicide proves nothing beyond the person being weak and too immature to handle life.
See, life is just a game. It's not meant to be taken seriously, which is obvious by the repercussions those face who do take it too seriously. Life is a game with set rules, and your objective is to weave your life between those rules to your liking. If something doesn't go your way, you find another path... another solution. There are infinite directions you can point your life, and down a dark tunnel isn't the way to go. And don't even think "sometimes you can't help it". There is always a way to make thing better. Always.
When I look through the posts on my friends page, and read each entry they all sound like suicide letters. What the hell. People who act happy, outgoing, fun in real life are tearing themselves to shreds over the internet. Danni said "We all have our secret lives". Bullshit. Live journal brings out the worst in people. They reach into themselves and TRY to find the darkest side of their life, then put it out for the entire world to see, and sit and bask in it. Bask in the glory of having the darkest life.
I doubt very many people are going to actually read this entire post, and for those who do I hope you actually listen to what I'm saying. I don't plan on posting in lj anymore, and I don't plan on reading anyone else's journal.
And I'm done.
