I have been listening to all my Blink-182 cd's the whole week. Man, I thought I was over all this stuff but nope. I still like it. Anyway... There's people outhere with a lot of different issues and problems, and I wish I could help them all. I have read a lot of entries about "The world hates me" or "No one understands me" or "Give me a reason to go on". It's funny... I felt like that when I was half my age. OMG!!! Some old guy told me this once: NOBODY CAN LEARN FROM YOUR EXPERIENCES, NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY TO MAKE THEM UNDERSTAND. THEY HAVE TO FALL FOR THEMSELVES TO FIND OUT THAT THE ROCKS AT THE BOTTOM ARE AS HARD AS THE ONES ON TOP OF THE HILL. And trough my life (not very long btw) I found out this is one of those universal truths. People come out seeking for advise, but I'm not sure they are willing to listen when it's given.(I suspect that's what happened to Christ, no offense to any religion). I think there's always a way. There's gotta be. Your sweetie cheated on you? Move on. There's always someone else better for you (proven fact). Your folks don't seem to understand you? (Man, I don't even undertsand myself and I'm already a parent). Deal with it. They are grown ups and you will be too one day. And once they were your age too, so trust me when I say they understand more than they want to admit. Just be you and act your age. You want to have a reason to go on? (Check the entry "BOTTOM" on the right side). Step aside from your problems for a minute. Seriously. I can't remember any good decision I made when I was mad or in rage or just dissapointed with my life. None. First and main reason for me to do anything: ME!!! Sounds selfish but works for me. I can't go on trying to please everyone, therefore I'm not responsible for their moods, feelings or whatever their issues are. I know there's a specific situation for everybody, so there's a specific answer to every problem. ALWAYS. I don't pretend to be a wise man. I know I'm not. I just wanted to share this. If it helps someone cool. If it doesn't, well... it's my diary so I'm sorry... =) Peace. lobito.
