Teenagers often thake themselves too seriously. Their problems are the worst in the world. Ther life is a tragic kindom of pain and suffering. Their middle name is angst.
I don't do that. I don't think I can. I think I'm far too much a realist to ever succumb to the mental shutdown and isolation that is a teenager's supposedly dramatic life. My life doesn't suck. I'm cheerfully content with my place in the universe and eagerly await the future, but am not desperate for a better tomorrow. With life comes the ups, the downs, and the in-betweens. Life brings you to that point of euphoria and then brings you all the way down to such a bluthering idiot you cry at Carrie Underwood winning American Idol. and sometimes, life is just there, passing you by, nothing good happens, nothing bad hapens, it just ... happens. And I'm content with the "just-happenings" of life. I see no reason to force life to bring me up. Nor do i avoid the downward journey, as it is inevitable and will better itself.
People take themselves too seriously. I realize that more and more everyday as I notice the torture some people put themselves through over stupid teenage bullshit. You're 16, 17, whatever. It's not the end of the world. In fact, its the beginning. Realize the uselessness of the day to day tragedy, ad learn to find the inner nerd in yourself. Fall down to make someone laugh. Do an impression of a funny teacher. Be outspoken. Be everything you envy. Create your own destiny. Guide your own way.
I use empty cilches because, as shitty as they may sound they're true. At this age, we now form ourselves for the future. Who do I want to be? I know now that I do not want to be a chemist, mathematician, or Historian. Thats the kind of stuf I think about. Why torture yourself with the empty negatives that will eventually pass when you can surround yourself with the positives?
Why did I write this? It's so cliche. It sounds like a graduation speech and it started as an observation. It is so not written well, cliches and the like. Ms Wortman would give me a 78, at most. I wrote this, because I was bored. I was thinking about what happened tonight and realized tehe pettiness of it all, and how I wasted an hour of my day. And i noticed that it was just a stupid silly waste of time. Again, taken too seriously.
What is emo. A bunch of mellowdramatic kids dressed in black. What's funny is they complain about life while most of thee kids are rich kids raised in the classiest of class that is suburbia. It's hilarious. "No one loves me blah blah blah"... Thats because mommy and daddy are off buying you another car. LIFE DOESNT SUCK!
I think Im writing this inspirational post (its supposed to be inspirational, read closer!) because i read one of my favorite books again, and aain, and again after watching Sesame Street this morning. Oh the Places you'll go by Doctor Seuss. Life is full of change, constantly moving. You learn something new every day. You grow change and evolve every day. KID YOU'LL MOVE MOUNTAINS!!! Thanks for the book Ms Eaton, I don't know why I'm paranoid enough to think you read this.
