"Differences come in pretty presents with rotten apples inside" It seems we all no matter what label you have want to be different than everyone else. Standing out is nice. Some stand out for the clothes they wear, their minds and the way they think, the people they hang out with, their religion, and their overall style. But usually no one cares about anyone's thoughts. As youth our opinions if heard are not really "listened" to. How can we learn to be individuals and opinionated? People go against your thoughts and opinions with their own distorted opinion of the way they think it is. But who's really right? If only we could live for ourselves and not be bothered by others who disagree and downrate us. No one really respects the mind for what it is. Thought to be a mindless accusations of the distorted truth someone makes up thinking its real when in reality no one is right. Can't we all respect people for being different and also respect the minds of others with different opinions as ours?-- ^^^ I've been posting on a forum. http://marilyn-manson.net/forums My sn on there is monkeygurl17. I love it b/c people actually post back and have some of the same thoughts that I do about a few things. I'm addicted to it now. I read what others post and think of so many things to post. It helps me get my thoughts out without stressing my brain. I'm glad we're out of school tomorrow I do need a day off. Well deserved b/c I've been good. (shhh..lets pretend) lol. Well I have been good. Anyway, I find myself being bothered by the same things that Dean is bothered by. I'd like to talk to him without others jumping in with more opinions that I don't care to hear when I'm stuck on my own opinions. I know it sounds wrong but its how I feel. When I'm ready to argue with someone I'll let them into it but until then me and Dean will debate and discuss ourselves to death before anyone can join in. I love being respected for my opinions by people other than my parents. But its different with Dean b/c he gets me to find reasons and actually wonder about things more than just say this is what I think and this is it. I'm a firm believer in stating my opinion and not changing my mind at all. Dean made me think a lot today. About religion and how people mess up the messages of what its supposed to be like. People shouldn't tell me that I should believe in God please tell me why you do other than its right and maybe I'll consider the possiblity of agreeing or wanting to agree with you. But until you explain I will remain clueless!--
