"We're better off as friends" I said. "Now who are you trying to convince, me or you?" He replied. This left me dumbfounded. Because I wanted to honestly say that I knew it was for the better, but I really knew I was just trying to convince myself of that. He was right. It will all get better in time. That's what everyone keeps telling me. They just don't ever mention how much time it will take. And if it's worth riding out. I'm young, and I'm not in any hurry to grow up. Although, I sure act like it. Like I'm growing up too fast. I hear that a lot also. I never knew there was a book that says everything you should and shouldn't do at a certain age. Because there isn't one and no one should tell you that you can't do something because you aren't the right age. Is there a right age to do something? The government sure thinks so. But me, I don't. A lot of people might disagree with my point of view but I really don't care. I thought this was America. The Free Country. Where we are able to do what we please. The culture we grew up in has made up what is right and what is wrong. What if we all lived naked? When I ask people that or similar questions they all answer; "that would be weird" "that wouldn't be right" "that would be gross" But if we really did live naked, we would never form those opinions about it. We should be open minded about a lot of things that no one really is. Everyone these days is so bias about things and don't stop to look at it from someone else's view. They say time heals everything, but there just insn't enough time in my life to fix what's been broken. Everyone keeps telling me to be myself and create who I am, then they tell me what to wear and who to like.I'm just sick of it. I'm sure everyone else is too. But they've done nothing to stop it. They all wear their hollister and ambercrombie, their american eagle and aeropostle and they claim to be different, and unique when they're wearing they same thing that every other persone that they are standing next to is wearing. "Where all think alike, no one thinks very much" I've learned a lot from them though. Not to be them is the big idea. Yea they may seem 'popular' and well liked and pretty but really they aren't anything. All the smart kids and they imaginative people get no credit for what they accomplish. No one looks up to them or tries to learn from them. Instead they're trying to figure out what the new trend is and how they can be the best at rep.-ing it. Lif's unfair. But "as I grow to understand life less and less I learn to love it more and more"
