So here I am again...
Yeah, I love the way I keep up with this journal...
Lately I have been losing my faith in people. It seems as though the older I get, the more I realize peoples' true colors. I don't understand why people say and do some of the things they do. Not to say all people are bad, however with age, it has become easier to spot the people who are. Especially in high school. I walk down the halls and all I hear are fake greetings and vapid conversations about trivial topics. I'm not innocent in this matter, I have tossed out a few hellos to people I barely know, and a few comments regarding the fashion of the hour, but that isn't ALWAYS my topic of converstation. And sadly, for some people, thats all they care to discuss. I'm tired of people claiming to like bands, books, movies, or clothes just to be "cool". I'm tired of people calling themselves "emo" and "goth" and "indie" and "retro"... can't we all just be ourselves. I mean, if being yourself means we happen to fit into one of those categories than so be it, but the titles were modeled around the lives of people and weren't ment for people to model their lives around. It just seems to me that these days people are more worried about fitting under a title than being who they really are, and it frustrates me.
