Sometimes I feel like The Boy in the People Shooting Hat

[whateverthat]

What the fuck is with this week? It's like every overconfident, snide, spoiled little shit has found some way to piss me off at every turn. I'm sick of everything at this point. It happens a lot and sometimes it's really amusing to notice for people, but Jesus Christ. I've been genuinely and incessantly annoyed for the past five days and I'm tired

Man. I wish you spoke up for yourself more often. It used to happen to me a lot because I was quite, people will walk all over you if they think you wont protest. It makes me mad that the teacher turned out the light on you.

But I don't know, I don't know how to say it without sounding preachy so i guess I'll just go for it with the added disclaimer that I don't mean to be preachy. But people aren't going to change, you know. Maybe in time, maybe if you actively make them see their wrongs, but definitely not in your silent resentment of them. The easiest thing to do is change your attitude towards it, cause obviously being annoyed at the phonies (yah, saw that catcher in the rye reference for sure) is making you frusterated with life. And we are born and then we die, in the middle we should spend our time doing something better than being frusterated. Next time you're annoyed with someone think of them as someone you REALLY love like your mom or dad or if you've got some girl. and just accept that's their personality, and it's alright. I don't know, it works for me. I'm not great at it or anything, but trying to feel nice towards the person that's on my nerves does make me feel happier. Luke would prolly disagree about the relevency of my advice, but all I've got is my own life experience to work with here...

That sounds great in theory, but it'll never happen. I've admitted to myself that it's my fault that I let people get to me, but for some reason I keep thinking decency and maturity from my peers is a sensible expectation. It isn't.
