"You're So Cherry"

I sit alone on a cold texas night. Pondering a conversation i just had with one of my friends.

She showed me a conversation between her and her younger sister. Her sister was afraid that she will never find someone who loves her. My friend tells her that everyone out there deserves to be be loved and deserves to find someone.

I had this exact conversation with this same friend a few weeks ago. Except i was the one with dreams of falling in love and wanting to find someone. Someone to hold my hand and make me happy. Someone to love me.

I bring this up to my friend. Her answer back was and i qoute. "She is 14, You are 18, She is a girl, You are a boy"

Dont get me wrong, i am not pissed at this person. Or even mildly upset. I am just confused and it made me think.

Do my dreams, hopes and thoughts. Suddenly dissappear when i hit the magical age where i am and "adult" Should i not have feelings anymore? Should i dream about being in love or finding someone? Does everything i have ever sought for become obsolete? And i should be thinking about real things like balancing my checkbook.

I say that is stupid. I think to say that i am older so i shouldnt think of such things as "love" is blasphemy. I think it is wrong to put an age on dreams. I think if anything my dreams should become bigger with age, because i am not a little kid anymore. My dreams can soon become a reality.

It makes me sad to see our society today. Realist kids who are afraid to play in the mud because they will get sick. Grow up to be the same kids who are afraid to fall in love because they will get hurt.

That is life. Your life i full of mistakes. Learn from them. Dont let them make you completley afraid of something.

That in my opinion is childish.

(i am not trying to be rude to anybody, and i am not trying to start and argument with the particler person i refering to throughout this rant)

I know this thought might make me look less like a testosterone filled "man" and more like a weak vulnerable "women". But fuck it. and fuck people who think that.

I think to live you life, looking at everything as black and white is a waste of what you were given.

The ability to make situations colorful, the ability to see the world at so many differant angles.

It makes me sad to hear 16 year old kids utter the words "I am too young to fall in love"

I dont think you can put an age on your emotions kids.

I really dont.

But hey,

That is just me.

Do what you do.
