do you remember when life was so simple and easy? when your biggest concern was getting to go on the swings before reccess ended and the biggest challange was learning those damn multiplication tables. When you would hug your teacher good bye at the end of the day. when you knew the name of all the kids in your class.
i was thinking about all of this as i walked around school today in my costume being that i was one of maybe 200 people dressed up out of 3000. i was so happy because i love halloween but it made me so sad to see so few people dress up. it depresses me to think that so many people are just too busy to put together a costume or they're just to embarrassed to do something that was once the biggest joy. i used to LOVE wearing the costume that my mom made me and showing it off in my elementary schools halloween parade.
why does life have to be so hard. and why in the midst of all of lifes hardness do people refuse to take a break every once in a while and dance around like an idiot or wear a freaking costume to school or i dont know. people just get so focused on where they are headed they forget that its not worth getting there if you dont slow down every now and then.
i think im getting so frusterated with this because i go to diamond bar high school and i just get smacked in the face with it everyday. This (asian) kid who is in my choir and in my chemistry class told me today that if he doesnt get straight A's his mom wont let him go to new york. i mean that is so rediculous. no one can lead a normal life under that kind of presure. i would probably be dead by now if i had asian parents
well this has been a long week and i think im going to go to bed now.
