prom

What's in a word? I mean, why do people put meanings behind certain words or symbols, then expect everyone else to accept those meanings? I have no reason to go to prom this year, simply b/c i feel there is nothing special enough about it to warrant the horrendous amount of money they demand for it. Perhaps if there was someone I could be there with that means a lot to me, such as the girl I dream about, day and night, then I would go, but she's not, and I see it as no more than an over-hyped dance. So what if I don't relate "prom" with "something you will always regret you never did"? Next year certainly has meaning, but that's next year, and this is this year...

Why must it be so difficult for everyone to accept me for my decisions? I get criticised for my stance on the prom issue, for wearing my tags, and for my choice to join the military. Everywhere I go, I'm taught to respect others and their personal decisions, so, did everyone else miss that lesson, or was it some cruel joke so that it'll be easy to blindside me?

Damnit! I wish i had someone with whom i could confide all of my deepest wishes and fears...but i have yet to find someone of that character...if there's even someone like that out there...
