here i am again with yet another long venting update for the few people who actually do read this. a little something i'd like to call
they say that "Life is a game." but where are the rules? where does it say how to succeed, to win? where are the shortcuts? where is the luck? it seems as though life is pointless a lot of the time. we all spend so much time longing for acceptance... wishing to be "cool." why do we try so hard for other people to like us? why do we care so much about what "they" think? there are people out there who will just downright dislike you. no matter what you say, no matter what you do. you can change yourself or things in as many ways possible, but there will always be people who disagree. we can't make everyone happy, so why do we even try? we try so hard to be liked, to be accepted... we change our personalities, our looks, just so that "they" will think we're "cool." what is "cool" anyway? who decides what's acceptable & what's not? society does. and who is society? we are. we are the ones who laugh at others who are "different." we laugh and mock people who dress differently, speak with accents & who just are not your average joe's. and i'm not going to lie, & call me a hypocrite, cause i do it too. what i'm saying is we have to change... "be the change you wish to see in the world." we're all the same anyway. we may act independent on the surface, but deep down we're all waiting for that "special someone" to sweep us off our feet & to live happily ever after with. we're all waiting for a "perfect friend" to be there for us always & forever. we all kid ourselves into thinking that we are different. we all long to be an individual, so much that we fit right in. we're all the same. we're all humans. we're all people. we all have words, thoughts & feelings. we all try so hard to be different than everybody else, so much, to the point where we forget about what we truly want, just because we feel like we're conforming to society. try your hardest, but you'll never be different. some how, some way, someone will try to be like you. that's the way people are. that's the reason why trends form. that's even a reason why there is so much hate in the world. hate for people who are different. hate for groups that decide they arent like everybody else. hate for people who wear this or that, who talk like this or like that, who look like this, or like that. what's the point of shooing away a portion of the human race, a portion of society, just because of what you might think. give them a change before you judge them. give them a chance to prove to you that they aren't what you think they are. we only have each other in this world. we only have each other. if you dont think i'm making sense at all, you're probably right, and I don't blame you. i guess i'm just saying that i'm sick of it. i'm sick of people. i'm sick of highschool drama. i'm sick of seeing people being hurt by what other people think. i'm sick of seeing people changing themselves, physically & emotionally, for the sake of being accepted. moving on... the word forever. is that even possible? nothing lasts forever. that is a fact. relationships definitely don't last forever. especially high school relationships. get over it. you're not going to be with that person "forever" so don't say you are. don't say you'll love them forever, because you won't. you know in you're heart you are not going to marry, grow old with & die with that person by your side. you won't. don't even try to contradict me on that one. if you really want to, call me when you 90 years old and tell me i'm wrong. then maybe i'll believe you. i guess people just need to wake up. and seriously face reality. get over themselves. open their eyes and look around. you're not the only freaking person in this high school, in this city, state, country, continent & world. think about others for once. have some consideration. LEARN. learn to appreciate, learn to educate, learn to understand, learn to differ, learn to conform, learn to experience, learn to live, learn to love, learn to laugh and be happy. learn to learn.
i'll leave you with a phrase so petty, & yet, so important... "can't we all just get along?"
